threat and horror
In the first part of the film, the woman and her son are confined to the room in which they are being held captive, with their captor sometimes entering to rape the woman, although this is not explicitly shown. These scenes, set in the room, are intensely claustrophobic and distressing and feature threats from the captor about what what he will do if the woman attempts to escape, as well as moments of violent threat, including choking.
language
There is occasional use of strong language ('f**k'), some of it aggressively delivered. There is also moderate and mild bad language, including uses of 'bitch', 'butt', 'God' and 'Jesus'.
drugs
There is a brief verbal reference to whether somebody might be on drugs.
sexual violence and sexual threat
It is implied that a woman is routinely forced to engage in sexual activity with her captor. However, this is discreetly conveyed by sight of the captor undressing and then sounds of wood creaking, implying the woman is being raped.
suicide and self-harm
There is an attempted suicide, apparently involving a drug overdose, although the character survives.
injury detail
There is sight of bruises on a woman's body and sight of blood when a tooth is removed.
nudity
A mother and young son bathe and shower together but there is no clear detail of nudity.
