Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A main character is stabbed in the chest with a knife-he staggers and walks through the city in a very long scene, and lies on the ground dying. Blood is seen on his shirt-and some blood is also seen on the ground in one scene. While this is not overly gratuitous, it is very disturbing and difficult to watch.
  • We see a main character's buried corpse in one scene-nothing graphic is shown other than her face-but this may be emotionally intense for some. After this scene, when another character tells the grandmother about this character's death, he smashes a jar of water and leaves. This may be intense for some.
  • A grandmother dies at the end of the film-this is a very emotional scene.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The ending is very sad and emotional.
