Sex scenes
These are inexplicit and only hint at sex occurring. A man is on top of a woman on a bed before quickly moving to tangled feet and abruptly cutting. Exaggerated moaning and exclamations are overheard in another scene. There is a mention of a threesome and references to “f*cking”, but sex is not shown.
Offensive language
Contains moderate use of “f**k”, used in casual conversation or as an exclamation of frustration or disbelief.
Imitable behaviour
An instance of ecstasy use is shown where all guests take one, which is mildly normalising in presentation. The film also contains reckless behaviour connected to drug use. Party guests jump from a second floor patio onto an outdoor tub on the first floor. This is presented as fun and exciting with a bit of danger. A risk of harms is presented in conversation but ultimately no consequences are depicted.
