language
Strong language occurs ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), as well as the middle finger gesture and use of milder terms including 'cock', 'dick', 'bitch', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'bastard', 'screw', 'jerk', 'God', 'hell', 'butt', 'Jesus Christ' and 'damn'. Discriminatory language includes 'faggot'. Discrimination is not condoned by the work as a whole.
sex
Frequent strong sex references include those which discuss masturbation, semen, erections and sex toys. A character imitates masturbation within a comic context.
sexual violence and sexual threat
In one sequence, there is a reference to child sex abuse at the hands of a relative, however, it quickly emerges this story was fabricated. Other moments include an undetailed and implied account of sexual assault.
suicide and self-harm
A young person expresses their intention to take their own life; their suicide occurs off-screen. The overall narrative reinforces anti-suicide messages. Teen mental health is a theme of the film which reinforces positive and supportive messages overall.
additional issues
A man punches a teenage protestor, however, there is limited detail. There is also brief and discreet sexualised breast nudity, as well as infrequent and undetailed drug references.
