Sex & Nudity

  • A man corners a woman and forces himself on her. The woman is (non-consensually) groped by the man after being restrained by him. The scene is intense and can be triggering for SA survivors.
  • There are LOTS of sex scenes throughout the film. Lula's breasts are constantly seen on many occasions, and there is lots of thrusting, moaning, and different positions.
  • Many scenes with naked women throughout the movie.
  • Characters frequently discuss sex and their previous sexual encounters in graphic terms with lots of sexual language, sometimes accompanied by visuals of what they're describing.
  • LOTS of nudity throughout the film. Lula is seen naked many times, and lots of other women are shown nude throughout the film for extended periods of time.
  • Lula is seen changing and she is shown topless.
  • Lula wears very revealing clothing in almost all her scenes. Her underwear is visible many times.
  • Very graphic sexual references are very frequently made throughout the movie. The word "fuck" is used sexually countless times.
  • Extremely graphic sexual references are frequently used throughout the movie.
  • A woman tells her boyfriend that she was raped by her father's business partner when she was 13 years old. We see the aftermath of this multiple times, with the man zipping up his pants and Lula laying in bed crying and her lips bleeding with blood and bruises visible on her inner thighs. These flashbacks can be very uncomfortable.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is executed by gangsters offscreen, but the build up is extremely tense and surreal.
  • A lengthy and graphic scene of sexual assault (see Sex and Nudity).
  • A man is beaten to death in the opening scene, the back of his head smashes open and a large amount of blood and brains can be seen.
  • Two men are shot, one loses a hand and they crawl around on the blood-covered floor trying to find it. Very bloody and shocking.
  • A man is shot several times then blows his own head off with a shotgun, chunks of skull and brain matter splatter on the ground. Extremely graphic.
  • A man is beaten and kicked, then punched in the face, his nose swells up.
  • A young girl is shown with a split lip and bloody sheets after being raped.
  • The aftermath of a car crash is shown, with bloody corpses and a blood-covered woman. Later another accident aftermath shows a dying man with a bloody head.

Profanity

  • The homophobic slur "f*ggot" is used once.
  • Extremely graphic sexual references are frequently used throughout the movie.
  • Countless uses of "fuck", over 100 uses at least, with most of them used in graphic sexual context. Lots of other profanity as well: "cunt", "pussy", "bitch", "bastard", "shit", "cock" and lots more.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
