Sex & Nudity

  • A man and woman kiss for five seconds or less.
  • Frank has casual sex with a co-worker in the workday. She is sitting on the bed and drops the sheet covering her breasts. Both breasts are clearly seen for 2-3 seconds. Male nudity is not shown.
  • Two detailed but clothed sex scenes. A married couple have sex against their kitchen counter while mostly dressed.
  • A married woman has sex in a car with a husband of a friend. As they sit in the front seat, they kiss. She disrobes and he climbs on top, and thrusts a few times until he moans and then climaxes in a quick and steamy scene. No explicit nudity.
  • A man is shown in the shower; but no nudity is shown, yet in another scene, a woman's bare breasts are visible briefly.

Violence & Gore

  • Verbal fighting and shouting through the movie.
  • A man almost strikes a woman twice, and at one point, nearly punches a mentally unstable man.

Profanity

  • In the first 10 minutes, the name of Jesus Christ is used like an obscenity, twice.
  • The swearing mostly comes from Frank or April.
  • 10 f-words (two used sexually) almost all of which used in aggressive contexts, and five or six s-words, also mostly used aggressively.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Characters smoke cigarettes through the movie almost all the time.
  • Smoking and drinking are rampant, both of which are used by the main female character while pregnant. Frank smokes what might be a joint while on a train (on account of the size of the cigarette and how he's holding it).

  • April screamed at Frank.
  • Very depressing subject manner.
  • The ending is very sad and dramatic.
