Sex & Nudity
-
- A man and a woman have an illicit quickie in a bathroom. The camera remains focused on their faces in medium close-up throughout, revealing no nudity, but the scene plays out in real-time (lasting approximately 60 seconds), heightening the sense of intimacy/immediacy.
Violence & Gore
-
- In one scene a woman, under mounting stress and implicitly dealing with mental illness, snaps at her children and pushes one against a wall. The child is seen to be confused and upset - as is the mother herself, moments later.
- The film depicts no violence on-screen, however, it's eight chapters are connected by implicit themes of domestic violence and child abuse.
Profanity
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- People are seen drunk and drinking alcohol. These scenes are brief and do not "glamorize" or "normalize" such behavior.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- WARU does not show any violence on-screen, but it's central theme of child abuse makes for some emotionally-wrenching material. There are several scenes set around a dead boy's tangi (funeral), which show his relatives in the throes of grief and blaming one another for his death, which some viewers may find intense or upsetting.
Spoilers
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- A young woman returns home after a night's partying and, still heavily intoxicated, staggers around trying to gain access to her property. It is revealed that she has left a baby, alone and unsupervised, inside the house. She injures herself while breaking in and is seen passing out on the floor.
