Violence

The film mainly deals with violence shown after a death has already occurred. Victims are fleetingly seen with small amounts of blood, bruising, and occasionally torn clothing.

Language

There is occasional use of coarse language. “Bloody” is used as an intensifier, and “bitch” used in a misogynistic manner.
