Sex & Nudity

  • A man is seen putting his underwear on - no nudity.
  • After sex a man lifts himself off a woman in bed; neither's body is uncovered, but the top of the woman's breasts are shown as she turns over.
  • A man takes his clothes off - we see male rear nudity - and procedes to rape a woman. None of her body is seen except a bare leg when she's on the floor.
  • One character is shown to be very promiscuous, inviting several men back in her home. There are many references to one-night stands, homosexual sex, and some sexual abuse.
  • When two women fight and a man is chased out of the room, the younger woman's breasts are partly visible throughout the scene as her robe falls halfway open.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman is date raped on her kitchen floor. Very disturbing. The man knocks her around and she falls on the floor stomach-down.

  • A man dangles his two children out of the window and drops them, while the screaming mother fights him trying to save them.
