- Couples kiss passionately in a couple scenes. Nothing too explicit.
- No sex or nudity, but it is implied that Norma and Joe have a physical relationship as well as an emotional one.
Violence & Gore

Profanity

- Minor amount of casual drinking. Joe attends a New Years Eve party where people are carousing and drinking.
