A main character is shown wearing tight Speedo underwear in a few scenes.

A gay man tries to kiss another man who is straight and rejects him in disgust.

There is a sex scene in a car that is being filmed for a porno. The scene is not graphic and cuts to another scene frequently. Only a man's buttocks is shown.

A high school couple is seen in bed, in their underwear. They are shown kissing a few times. The girl compliments the boy on how massive his penis is and how good he is at sex. But penis is not shown.

Man and woman have sex, includes breast nudity, but no male nudity. It is filmed for a pornographic movie.

A man and woman have sex at a pool party where a man is on top of a woman, and a brief instance of his buttocks. Many people stand over them, watching.

A man asks a male and female teenager to have sex in front of him. The female strips off her dress, leaving her nude, and then climbs on top of the male. They stop making out as the view moves to the man watching.

A man picks up another man in his car and asks him to masturbate in front of him. The man starts, but is told to do it faster and harder, but then says he cannot and stops.

A teenage boy says that men pay him to masturbate in front of them.

Two masturbation scenes, both of the same character. The first is somewhat uncomfortable, and the other is more disturbing than anything.

A totally naked woman asks a man to "fuck her in the ass". He accepts but the act is never shown. Breasts and brief genitalia are shown during the scene.

Since it is a film about porn, there is frequent nudity throughout.

Two scenes of non-graphic fellatio. And two scenes of non-graphic male masturbation.

Graphic sexual dialogue during much of the film, although it's not overly vulgar.

During a party, a man find his wife having sex with another man. He shoots her and the man out of view. He then walks in the living room of the house party and shoots himself in the mouth. Blood and brain is shown splattered on the wall.

A small shootout takes place were one man is shot in the shoulder with blood spurting. He falls to the ground and shoots another man multiple times in the chest, bloody bullet holes appear. Then he opens a door only to be shot in the stomach with a shotgun and killed. A big hole forms in his chest.

A woman overdoses and tons of blood can be seen pouring from her face. She starts spasming and it's implied she dies. Bloody and disturbing.

A man is brutally beaten and kicked by a several men after they find out he is homosexual. There's blood on his face and mouth but there's no severe injuries. There is eerie music played throughout the scene and it is more stressful and hard to watch than graphic.

We briefly see some blood on a woman's legs when she's giving birth. Shown for less than two seconds.

The second half of the film takes a very dark and brutal turn. A man graphically kills himself, there are bloody shootouts, and people are graphically beaten to a bloody pulp. Blood, brains, etc.

Strong brutal violence is present in the second half of the film which can be extremely shocking.

Some scenes of brutal bloody violence.

It is important to note that while the first half of the film is deceptively lighthearted and calm, the final act of the film is very, very violent and bloody.

When a man shoots himself in the mouth, blood and brains realistically splatter on the wall behind him, however this is very brief.

A man is brutalized by being viscously punched and kicked in the face several times. His face is very bloodied and he lies on the ground before a woman approaches him and repeatedly stomps on his head with roller skates, which is shown in close-up. Very intense and horrific.

In a short, but bloody shootout, two men are shot dead in the chest with blood spraying; and another is shot in the head. Blood and brain matter splatter on another man. A man is shown in a puddle of blood.

Let's talk about movies!
