violence
Moderate violence includes a prolonged fist fight in which a man repeatedly punches another in the face.
threat and horror
Heightened moments of moderate threat occur in which people argue aggressively and threaten each other with violence. A man destroys a kitchen, soaking himself in food stuff and smashing up equipment. References are made to knife threat.
language
Infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t') and frequent use of strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'pussy', 'son of a bitch', 'dickhead', 'whore', 'slag', 'balls', 'bastard', 'bullshit' and 'asshole'. Middle finger rude gestures are made.
sex
A woman masturbates a man below frame and it is implied he ejaculates. There is brief sight of his ejaculate in the aftermath. There are occasional visual and verbal sex references and people make masturbation and ejaculation gestures.
discrimination
People display racist, sexist and homophobic attitudes and verbal references are made to discrimination. Discriminatory language includes use of the terms 'fag', 'wop' and 'yellow'. Discriminatory attitudes are not endorsed by the work as a whole.
drugs
A man smokes a crack pipe and a person is briefly seen snorting cocaine.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man spies on naked women as they shower and get dressed; he is unapologetic when they spot him and continues to stare at them. A employer questions an intimidated junior employee about her love life and comments on her appearance.
injury detail
A man has bloody injuries on his face and head in the aftermath of a fight. Blood drips down a woman's leg as a result of an earlier abortion. Brief sight of the carcasses of dead animals are seen in a restaurant freezer.
nudity
A scene includes full frontal female nudity and there is also sexualised breast nudity, seen in cards advertising the services of sex workers.
theme
References are made to abortion and a woman visits a clinic to undergo the procedure; however, all medical detail is masked. There are also mentions to mental health and homelessness.
