Spoilers

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

Sex & Nudity

  • As part of a performance art piece, bare-chested male artist imitating a gorilla in a room full of banquet guests singles out a woman. He drags her by her hair to the floor and attempts to rape her, pushing up her dress. At this point, a group of male guests come to her rescue. No explicit nudity. It is unclear how far the artist was willing to take his performance, but clearly the woman was terrified.

Violence & Gore

  • There's a scene during a exhibit when a man performing as a monkey tries to force himself quite violently on a woman. People ignore it for a while until they stop him. It's intense and can be triggering.
  • A controversial commercial shows a young child getting blown up. No blood is explicitly shown.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • During a performance at a dinner party, the artist Oleg takes his performance too far by physically assaulting guests at the party and then finally attempting to sexually assault a woman. Other party guests then restrain him and then beat him up.
