discrimination
Racism is a theme of the film. There are scenes in which black women are discriminated against by their white employers; black women are referred to as being "owned" and are forced to use outside toilets so they don't "infect" the space of the white home owners. There are uses of racist language when white characters refer to black people as 'n****rs'.
additional issues
There is a scene of crude humour when a woman seeks revenge by making a pie out of her own faeces and offering it to her employer to eat. A woman is seen with blood on her nightgown as she tells another woman that she has had a miscarriage. There is mild bad language ('shit'), mild sex references, which includes a use of the phrase "knocked up", and a scene of implied domestic abuse when a woman backs away in fear from her aggressive husband.
