Sex & Nudity

Mild
165 of 377 found this mild
Contains only infrequent sexual references. In one scene, one character ridicules another by gesticulating with his hands to indicate "balls" and a "tiny cock". Also contains a brief scene of intimacy in which a shirtless man and a woman (wearing a nightgown) are kissing in bed, and the woman moans "Your Majesty". Her nipples and his nipples are visible for a prolonged amount of time.
A young man and woman are having sex. The man tells the woman to stop and she sits up. There is no nudity, but the woman's upper body can be observed through her nightgown. Minute 16.

Violence & Gore

Severe
104 of 166 found this severe
Contains infrequent strong bloody violence during the course of the film. The strongest moments occur when a man is executed via beheading. The decapitation is briefly depicted onscreen, but further detail isn't depicted. In another scene, a child is impaled with a sword (the sword protrudes through their torso but doesn't penetrate the front of their clothes). Another child is seen carrying their decapitated head, and the decapitated head is briefly depicted in a wide shot.
Also contains scenes of moderate war violence, involving swordfighting and hand-to-hand combat. Blood and injury is not easily discernible during these sequences as the combatants are usually wearing armour and/or are covered in mud. There is little emphasis on pain or injury during these scenes. Another character is briefly stabbed in the back of the head, but due to low lighting, injury detail is not discernible.
Strong violence.

Profanity

Moderate
71 of 136 found this moderate
Contains only infrequent use of coarse language throughout the film, including three or four uses of "fuck", as well as a single use each of "cock" and "whoring".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
97 of 126 found this mild
Contains some depiction of recreational alcohol consumption, including scenes in bars.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
64 of 130 found this moderate
Scenes of bloody violence and war combat may be distressing for some viewers. A beheading scene and the depiction of a child carrying the decapitated head of another may be particularly disturbing.
