Parent Guide

There is a scene where a large number of model applicants are dressed in bras and panties only. A few of them are seen walking across the room while a handful of designers/ casting directors watch them silently.

A young woman is asked to take her dress off for a photoshoot, and a man puts paint on her upper body. The photographer wipes gold paint over her shoulders and neck, and implicitly over her entire body. No nudity (everything is shown from the shoulders up). After the scene, the woman says that the man was fine, implying that nothing further took place.

Sparse use of sexual references and language ("what she's wondering is who you're f---ing", "lipsticks are named after food or sex", etc). The first example is about as graphic as the references get, they aren't too bad otherwise.

One woman goes to bed with another (although the other does not know the reason) to try to touch her genitals. No nudity but very suggestive.

References to "hard candy" and "take a peak in room 214, rented to a runaway girl, 13 years old described as "Lolita" and "has to be seen." Said girl is then later presumably assaulted offscreen (we hear her screams through the wall of Jessie's room).

A woman removes the sheet covering a naked corpse. Full frontal female nudity is shown primarily from the side. The women kisses, touches & has manual graphic sex with the adult female's nude dead body. Pubic hair is visible, vulva obscured due to side angle. During this a lengthy scene the woman is fantasizing about another woman, as shown through brief cutaways.

A woman is shown gardening topless in a lengthy scene.

A woman is shown lying naked on the floor in a moonlit dark room, with her legs spread & the camera angled straight between her legs. Some pubic hair seen, & nude breasts can be made out, but vulva obscured by shadows. Although difficult to see, it appears that she is emitting considerable blood (or other fluid) from below.

Two nude women covered in blood shower erotically together while a third nude female watches them from a bathtub. Full frontal female nudity (vulvas obscured) is shown.
