Sex & Nudity

  • A woman and a teenage boy sit on a bed fully clothed. She kisses him intimately on the lips and she goes to open his shirt before they are interrupted.
  • Three boys flip through a pornographic magazine. A picture of a woman is shown, with lower body nudity clearly visible for a brief period of time.
  • There is also a scene of implied masturbation where a boy can be seen moving his hand around his crotch area while looking at a picture of a woman. No nudity is shown throughout this sequence.

Violence & Gore

  • There are scenes with gang beating, denigration, use of excesive violence from the guardians. There are intense and very real scenes. I consider several scenes are really violent and raw.
  • A boy hits an older man over the head with a shovel, knocking him down and injuring his head. Blood is shown, and later the man is seen wearing a bloody bandage under an eye patch.
  • One shot lingers on the back of a boy as he hangs from ropes. You can see the skin under the ropes is raw and bleeding, and it is visually implied he has been brutally beaten and tortured.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Several characters are shown smoking cigarettes, including teenage boys. Scenes where boys trade tobacco for other items.
  • Drug use is depicted briefly when a girl is seen smoking a joint and then passing it to a boy.
