Spoilers

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

Sex & Nudity

  • A woman is violently raped. An intruder drags her from the bathtub, kicking and screaming, and into the bedroom. Some of the rape is offscreen while we hear the woman continue to scream and cry. Her attacker is shown thrusting and climaxing audibly, then he spits in her face. Her breasts are visible for most of the scene but otherwise little nudity is shown. This is very upsetting to watch.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle. He collapses and dies as blood spurts from his neck.
  • A man is beaten and has his head smashed into a television, which leaves him "a vegetable" (brain damaged.) The sudden and extreme violence this scene is portrayed almost comically.
  • A man is unexpectedly stabbed in the neck with a pair of scissors. He begs for help as other characters watch him bleed to death.
  • A man is thrown off a ledge and falls to his death. This scene is not graphic.
  • A man is stabbed in the belly with a screwdriver. Some blood is shown as he collapses.
  • A woman's dead body is shown hanging from the ceiling after being beaten to death offscreen.
  • At a drug deal, one character shoots two others in the legs/lower body to disable them. No one is killed but there is a brief and violent struggle.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Characters discuss using and selling ecstasy. The tablets are shown at a drug deal.
  • One character is frequently high on cocaine. His behaviour is erratic and violent. The cocaine interferes with his family life and his business ventures. It is commented on several times.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A drunk man climbs on top of a sleeping woman and gropes under her skirt. She wakes up and tries to push him off. He covers her mouth so she can't scream. They are interrupted by another character, but the man promises he will get her "another time."
  • A married man and woman have multiple domestic disputes. They shout and curse at each other in front of their children. Offscreen, the man beats his wife. She is shown afterwards in a hospital, with bruises and cuts all over her arms and face. The woman blames herself for the abuse.
  • A little boy is suffocated by another child using a plastic bag. This is described by other characters but not shown on screen. The boy's body is shown later in a morgue. His devastated parents struggle to cope with his loss.
