violence
There are brief moments of moderate violence, although comic in nature.
language
Strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') occurs throughout, along with terms such as 'pussy', 'dick', 'bitch', 'whore', 'tits', 'ass', 'balls', 'shit', 'God', 'damn' and 'hell'.
sex
Scenes of sex include an extended masturbation scene using a massage device and a threesome sequence with implied penetration and cunnilingus. Sex references occur throughout, including to oral and anal sex, masturbation and orgasms.
discrimination
People, sometimes unintentionally, make racist comments, and others recall their experiences of bullying and prejudice. Racism is clearly condemned.
drugs
When a drug dealer attempts to frame a group of travellers as her associates, they are forced to consume or hide the drugs - including pills and cocaine - to avoid discovery and arrest. It is implied one woman inserts drugs in her anus to hide them, and later extracts them. It is implied a woman becomes aroused by consuming drugs.
injury detail
During the filming of a historical drama series, a character takes their own life resulting in bloody detail. However, the moment is clearly part of the staged production with no actual harm or injury occurring.
nudity
There is a brief comic close up on a woman's labia as it is revealed she has a genital tattoo.
rude humour
There are various scenes of crude humour, including a woman projectile vomiting over people.
alcohol and smoking
