Sex & Nudity

Moderate
6 of 16 found this moderate
The film opens with the rape of a very young girl. No graphic nudity, but hard to watch.
A man and a woman are seeing having intercourse. They are covered by a blanket, but thrusting is seen.
Another brief scene of intercourse. No nudity.
A man walks into a lake and his genitalia are seen.
Child pornography plays a role in the film, and while no nudity is explicitly shown it is implied that a young girl is raped in the film.

Violence & Gore

Mild
2 of 5 found this mild
A young girl is raped and murdered. Not overly graphic, but disturbing.
Later a young girl is kidnapped. Her dead body is discovered later in the film.
A man drives his car into a lake and drowns himself.

Profanity

Mild
1 of 4 found this mild
Probably around 10+ uses of the f-word and some other profanities.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
2 of 3 found this mild
Nothing crazy. A few people have a couple drinks.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
2 of 4 found this severe
The whole movie is centered on the raping and murder of young girls. There are few explicitly graphic scenes, but the whole thing is very emotionally taxing and intense.
