Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • Robbie lures Jeanette into his room and starts advancing her inappropriately, with sexual tendencies. Jeanette stops him multiple times, but he pushes her on his bed and tries to take off her top. She then stops him and gets on top of him while kissing. Jeanette then takes off her top partly to reveal her lingerie. She shows him the burn marks she received as a child and tells Robbie how she got them. She then abruptly leaves. The entire sequence is quite disturbing as rape was foreshadowed.
