Sex & Nudity
-
- A woman stands looking at herself in a mirror wearing only a crop top. This is quite suggestive though not graphic. This happens at 19:57
- A man's bare backside is seen as he runs towards his girlfriend, also nude.
- There is a long sex scene between two characters with full nudity.
- There is a very graphic sex scene at 36:54
- There is a medium graphic sex scene at 1:31:20. However this is very quick and its shown with a disturbing feeling with the sex not being the focus.
- A man stands naked in the dark. His hip region is barely visible.
- A woman takes a bath. Nudity not shown.
Violence & Gore
-
- The violence depicted in this movie is not graphic at all but it is very intense because you may not expect it.
- Several people are shot offscreen, it isn't graphic and is in a dark setting, but a man is briefly seen with blood splatter on his face afterwards.
- We see two people putting a body in a trash can. This is brief, and from a distance.
- Some scenes where people engage in fist fights because of a drug dealer.
- Four people are seen going through intense emotional suffering.
Profanity
-
- Frequent swearing. 33 uses of "fuck. Constant uses of "shit", "damn", "bitch", "hell".
- Words such as "pussy" and "ass" are used very rarely.
- Some religious profanities: "goddamn", "Jesus", "Christ".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The entirety of the movie is centered around drugs, and the horrors that come of it.
- Marijuana and cigarettes are both smoked a couple times
- 2 characters want to make it big off of drug dealing
- Couple brief scenes where a white powder like substance (presumably cocaine or speed) is snorted through a rolled up dollar bill.
- People doing drugs is actually rarely shown in the movie, it's more about the lives of people using, and how drugs ruin them.
- Though drugs are actually rarely shown, the effects of them are. Such as hallucinations etc. It can be quite disturbing and dark but people realise that the hallucinations aren't real.
- However, ironically, a heroin addicted character (rightfully) discourages a woman from taking speed.
- The main focus of the film is the development of drug addicted characters.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The drug content sometimes ensues disturbing images.
- Some adult themes and drug use. Can be disturbing.
- The entire film is about the consequences of drug use, and it's completely unrelenting and disturbingly realistic in its depiction. From beginning to end, the experience is extremely frightening, shocking, insanely disturbing, harrowing and thoroughly disheartening, and the film has an extremely emotionally upsetting, depressing and traumatizing tone to boot. It's very, VERY realistic, and very, VERY upsetting, enough to make anyone think twice about using drugs.
- The movie is widely considered to be one of the most depressing, disturbing, and downright haunting movies ever made.
- Some of the characters are sometimes in pain after fights. This isn't graphic or disturbing but might be intense for some.
- The drug sequences and hallucinations are intense and disconcerting.
- A woman experiences gloomy and frightening hallucinations, which become worse as the movie continues.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A man makes a woman give him oral sex (and implied other sexual favors) in return for drugs. This is brought up a lot but never shown
- A sex toy being lubed and used on multiple women. It is shown as flashes in the dark, but still quite graphic.
Violence & Gore
- A man's arm is amputated, but the camera quickly switches when the sawblade comes in contact with the skin. But you can see blood briefly seam out of his arm, and splatter on his face
- A man is shown injecting heroin into a very infected part of his arm. This infected arm as shown several times later while he is in great pain.
- There are some fights shown in this movie that result in a couple of bruises. Nothing graphic.
- In one brief scene, a woman stabs a man in the hand with a fork and blood comes out. It quickly cuts away to reveal that this was simply her imagination, and did not happen.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- This movie tells the story of four drug addicts whose lives fall apart by the end of the movie because of their addictions.
- Sara's dieting storyline may be very triggering for some viewers and deals with severely obsessive weight loss, dieting pills and force-feeding both via utensil and tube.
- There is a scene where four gang members are sitting in a car and unexpectedly one is shot and killed, sending the others into a panic.
- A wound in a man's arm after a drug induced fight is shown. Some might find it graphic though it looks very fake.
- Toward the end, there is a prolonged montage of all of the main characters in the film in similar states of extreme pain or humiliation, including rotting wounds, amputation, sexual degradation, and electroshock therapy. This sequence is extended, graphic, intense and uses aggressive, relentless sound.
- An elderly woman is sent to a mental hospital where she sometimes has hallucinations. Could be disturbing for people who actually have hallucinations.
