How I Live Now

Contains strong language, once very strong, strong sex, violence and threat

violence
Moments of violence include sight of characters being beaten and killed by gunfire, with some bloody injury seen as a result, but there is no dwelling on the details of the violence or injury in these scenes. Much of the violence in the film occurs offscreen, with only aftermath being shown, including sight of dead bodies. In one scene, a central character comes across the bodies of several executed children, with brief focus on bloody injury.
threat and horror
In the early parts of the film the threat to the central characters, the oldest of whom is sixteen, is largely implied as the war occurs away from them. When the conflict moves closer to their home, the threat becomes more real and intense as they face capture by military forces and rogue gangs roaming the countryside. A scene in which a group of women are witnessed being assaulted by a group of men contains sexual threat, although this is portrayed in a relatively discreet manner with no strong detail.
language
The film contains several uses of strong language ('f**k') as well as a single use of very strong language ('c**t').
sex
The film also contains a scene in which a couple have sex. Although no strong nudity is shown, there is an impression of sexual thrusting.
