Sex & Nudity
-
- All sex scenes within the film are between two men. They vary in terms of intensity and graphic portrayal.
- A brief encounter occurs in an alleyway - there is kissing and one of the main characters begins to unbutton the other's pants but is stopped.
- The two main characters begin making out within a sleeping bag - this proceeds into one of them masturbating the other until he climaxes. Not overly graphic but explicit in terms of moans and grunting.
- There is a brief graphic sex scene between the two leads - with thrusting, moaning and non-frontal nudity.
- Another brief sex scene where one of the characters begins kissing the other's buttocks but is interrupted.
- Two fairly graphic sex scenes are displayed - one of the main characters is seen having sex with two different men. It is quite rough - with thrusting, moaning, biting and non-frontal nudity. This sequence ends with one of the characters biting his boyfriend's nipple - this is not meant to be overly violent - it is played more for humour
- The two main leads proceed to have sex in their car - not overly graphic but explicit - played for humour.
- One of the main characters appears to have sex with his peers in his drama class - most of these are fairly explicit with kissing, moaning, thrusting and one instance of fellatio (occurs offscreen)
- A sequence seems to take place in a brothel and we see one of the main characters engaging in an orgy. It is not overly graphic but there is mild groaning and thrusting.
- There is a brief sex scene between the two main characters towards the end of the film - it is more tender and slow.
- Mild sexual innuendo
- One main instance of full-frontal nudity - it is for only a few seconds. Infrequent instances of non-frontal nudity.
Violence & Gore
-
- There is a surgery scene, a bit of blood.
- Some moderate homophobic physical violence - chiefly in a bar. One of the main characters ends up with a broken nose - blood is clearly visible. Another character is thrown to the ground and kicked repeatedly. A woman is pushed violently onto a table at the beginning of this instance.
- A minor physical altercation occurs between the two main leads.
Profanity
-
- Since the time period is during a time where AIDS was being blamed on the gay community, there are numerous homophobic slurs present.
- Other profanity instances such as s***, f***.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Several instances of drug use, alcohol consumption and smoking. Nothing too hard-hitting.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The atmosphere is rather tense because of the sociopolitical climate of the era - especially in regards to the 1980s where the AIDS pandemic began.
- The violence against the gay community may be distressing and hard to watch.
Spoilers
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Seeing its main characters go through the effects of AIDS during the final act is rather distressing and heartbreaking.
