Sex & Nudity

moderate

Sex & Nudity Reason

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

mild

Violence & Gore Reason

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. The girls steal Dana's car, and end up going off the road we see the car rollover but they all end up okay Legs' mentality drastically changes after she is released from the correctional center, she becomes a ruthless and homicidal person. A few teenage girls hold a man hostage with a gun and one of them accidentally shoots him in the chest.

Profanity

moderate

Profanity Reason

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

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

moderate

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking Reason

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

mild

Frightening & Intense Scenes Reason

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.
