Sex & Nudity

  • Violet teases Dana (a male jock) about performing oral sex.
  • In the first few minutes of the film, full rear nudity of a teenage boy.
  • Teenage boys grab their genitals in a rather offensive manner when Maddy is seen taking pictures.
  • A teacher sexually harasses teen girls, getting close to their faces and touching their chests. Nothing explicit is shown.
  • A woman asks her daughter if her boyfriend slept over, implying that they may have had sex.
  • In a scene which lasts several minutes, Legs removes her top, takes a needle, and starts drawing a tattoo on her right breast. There is a close up shot of the needle being pushed into the flesh of her breast, and her nipple and areola are visible from close up. Legs proceeds to create a similar tattoo on the other girls' breasts (some which show bare breasts, others which wear a bra). Legs remains topless throughout the scene. The scene is not sexual, though there is romantic tension between Legs and Maddy.
  • In a supermarket, Violet and Rita talk explicitly about sex while practicing putting a condom on a zucchini.
  • Romantic tension is present between Maddy and Legs throughout the film. They have a tender moment where Maddy asks Legs how she'd feel if she told her she loved her. Legs reiterates with "I'd take however you'd want me to."

Violence & Gore

  • A girl grabs a man by his crotch to threaten him.
  • A group of girls take revenge physically on a pedophile teacher, he kicks one of the girls and slams another against his blackboard. Another one kicks him in the crotch and another girl smashes his face on a bench threatening to "snip his nuts off".
  • A father smacks his daughter on the back of her head.
  • A group of teenage boys force a teenage girl into the car, but they are stopped by another girl. It is implied that the boys intended to rape her.

Profanity

  • Use of "ass", "bitch", "crap", "damn" (two times with God's name), "fuck", "hell", " slut" and "shit"
  • An obscene finger gesture.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Goldie is shown to be a drug addict and is seen smoking a joint at one point. Later, in a scene which lasts about a minute, Goldie inserts a needle into her arm vein and is implied to be using heroin.
  • Teenagers are seen smoking joints and drinking alcohol.
  • Ethan and Violet are both shown to smoke cigarettes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene where Legs teases Maddie about her fear of heights is a little intense. Seeing as she is walking on top of a bridge, and accidentally drops her art portfolio.
  • Violence against women is a key theme for the film; many scenes show large men and teen boys intimidating, harassing, and attacking teen girls.
  • The relationship between Goldie and her father is strained and many viewers will either be upset or disturbed with the physical abuse.
  • The final scene with Legs and Maddy is a bittersweet moment.
