Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Several rape scenes some of which are seen, others mentioned. One encounter is particularly graphic - we see the man groping a character's breasts as he holds her down and pulls down his pants. We see his bare behind and part of his scrotum. There is also graphic movement.

Violence & Gore

Several shootings of unarmed people, including children (not much blood, but graphically depicted due to their helplessness/crying)

Profanity

A few mild profanities.

Several rape scenes, scenes of emotional/psychological abuse and raw violence make this an intense film altogether.
