violence
The verbal descriptions of the way victims were tortured and executed are graphic and detailed. The perpetrators speak about these acts with some relish. Reconstructions of the events are deliberately fake-looking and it is very clear that we are watching theatrical performances.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms.
sex
Sex references include an explicit description of a young woman performing a sex act at a rally of army leaders.
drugs
There are references to marijuana smoking.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There are verbal references to acts of rape carried out before a mass killing in a rural village. There are some references to targeting young girls specifically for rape.
additional issues
Sex references include an explicit description of a young woman performing a sex act at a rally of the army leaders. The film also contains infrequent use of strong language ('f**k') and references to soft drugs.
