Sex & Nudity
-
- The extent of the sex is that of intercourse between a naked man and a woman wearing nothing but a brassiere, during which only male rear nudity is visible and it is largely obscured by a vertical beam. The extent of the nudity is a few short wide-angle shots featuring full frontal (and rear) nudity of a teenage boy, absent any sexual context, and in a separate scene, rear nudity of a woman.
- Expecting to be mounted by a man for sexual intercourse, a woman wearing a thin jacket slips down her shorts to above her knees, and leans down on all fours. Once the man flings the bottom of the jacket away from her waist toward her head, her bare behind is visible but without any frontal nudity. The man sitting behind her tells her to spread her legs, and she does, but he tells her to spread them wider, while kicking at and repositioning her feet away from each other.
- One of the characters is a grown man who is implied to have a history of inviting young men into his apartment and photographing them posing wearing nothing but vintage headgear, one-on-one. (However, only the subject's torso is in frame on each photograph.) The man tries to do this to/with a teenage boy.
- Graffiti in the form of a gigantic, comical, simple doodle of human male genitalia can be seen on the exterior of a building.
- Two very young androgynous adults who are dressed in traditionally-masculine attire can be briefly seen passionately kissing each other at a train station.
Violence & Gore
-
- No gore. The extent of a violence is that of a teenage boy repeatedly kicking a downed, coughing, struggling, nearly-incapacitated grown man, after the boy had used his palm to strike the then-standing man on the head, causing the man to fall to the floor. The boy even steps on the man's face and lips, as if to muffle or suffocate him.
- The only other violence is just one scene of a grown man slapping a teenage boy on the cheek. Prior to such a slap, the two were merely playing around, simulating fistfight or boxing practice, but the boy accidentally knocked the cigarette out of the grip of the man's lips. However, throughout the movie the man does mildly behave somewhat like a bully toward the boy, using various restraint moves against him while being intimidating at times, for the boy seeming too "soft".
- Two men mildly strong-arm a man into the backseat of an automobile. The context is vaguely coercive, like arrest or abduction. This apparently causes some emotional distress in a teenage boy who is effectively momentarily abandoned away from home as a result.
- In just one scene, a teenage boy exhibits a brief tantrum in a public place: overturning a table and briefly cursing at the fellow cafe patrons, before trotting off away from the site. He throws a few other tantrums, throughout the movie, but they are not particularly threatening, let alone violent.
Profanity
-
- In one scene, a grown man commands a teenage boy, in words that translate to "Quit fucking prancing." Various phrases containing one word or another that translates to "fuck" are uttered multiple times throughout the movie, mostly by a teenage boy.
- In a derogatory fashion, a particular character is referred to as "homo", translated to "poof" in the closed captioning for the English language, e.g. "That fucking poof from your house."
- Other examples of profane spoken expressions as they are presented the closed captioning for the English language include "You're fucking fat", "Religious? Like a fucking Mormon" and "You can all fuck yourselves!"
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The most extreme drug use is that of a teenage boy gulping down a shot of some clear liquor. There are no references to hard drugs, let alone use thereof depicted, in the whole movie. While not shown to be drunk, the boy does experience an altered state of mind, depicted as something of an slightly-imaginative odyssey.
- Right near the beginning of the movie, a teenage boy lights a cigarette and briefly takes a puff of it, before handing it over to a grown man, who asks the boy to bring him beer.
- Both men and women can be seen smoking cigarettes or drinking beer, at various times throughout the movie.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The main violent scene of the movie has a vague sort of "phobic" hate crime vibe to it. Some audiences may feel the violence to be excessive given the context of the conflict and the seemingly low threat level of the defeated party. On the other hand, the extreme pressuring that elicited the aforementioned violent reaction and accompanying psychological distress of a vulnerable minor is also somewhat frightening. So, overall the scene is very disturbing.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- The movie ends with the teenage boy going deep into the river and somehow deliberately drowning there, hence tragically committing suicide, as implied by his older brother's mortified reaction to seeing the boy's shirt floating on the surface of the water.
