Sex & Nudity

  • During a shot where the teenage protagonist recounts her sex with her partner there are short glimpses shown of her having intense explicit sex with her partner in various positions.
  • The movie revolves around a fifteen year old girl experimenting with her sexuality and shows her having consensual sex with adults. Her being under the statutory age of consent is never mentioned in the film, although her mother mentions that she (the mom) got married at about that age.
  • The female protagonist examines her appearance while completely naked in front of a mirror. Her small breasts and buttocks are seen. This is the most explicit nudity in the film.
  • As the film revolves around the young female protagonist's sexual experimentation and her quest for self-identity, it is replete with verbal sexual references and sexual scenes.
  • Some of the stronger scenes include one where the female protagonist engages in foreplay with her mother's boyfriend and her female best friend, with shots of the trio kissing and the female protagonist touching her friend's bare breast; several sexual scenes between the protagonist and different male characters where nudity and sexual movements are depicted clearly and a scene where she and her best friend perform oral sex on two men in a toilet (filmed from behind, no nudity in this scene).
  • In one scene, the two women are seen in bed with one implied to be performing oral sex on the other.
  • The female protagonist is also an aspiring comic artist and her illustrations are seen intermittently throughout the film, with animated sequences of her imaging herself as a comic character. These illustrations are often sexually-suggestive and feature nudity, particularly of the female genitalia. Show drawing show explicit oral and vaginal sex with visible male genitalia.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman seems to be pimping the main character, who is intoxicated, to a man.

Profanity

  • Frequent cursing; the film also contains strong verbal sex references and over forty uses of "f*ck".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • One scene shows two persons' hallucinations during an acid trip.
  • Drug taking sequences are depicted in the film but instructive details of illegal drug use are not.
  • The film contains frequent scenes of drug use with scenes of the main characters, including teens, consuming various kinds of drugs, including cannabis cigarettes, cocaine and/or acid.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Quite a few emotionally intense scenes, including several as Minnie gradually comprehends that her feelings of love might not be reciprocated, and when she and her mother have a confrontation over the issue.
