Sex & Nudity
mildTLDR: no actual sex, genitals, or breasts shown, but quite a few pre- and post-coital scenes. A man and a woman kiss, and in the next scene appear to have just had sex in a car, but are still fully clothed. A man and a woman are briefly shown embracing in bed under bedsheets. A woman in a nightdress and a man get into bed together, embrace and kiss. A man is drinking in a bath (no nudity), a woman in a slip washes his back. The man leaps out of the bath (again no nudity) and they embrace and kiss. A man and a woman in a motel room start to undress each other, then cut to them lying naked together after sex, covered by sheets. A pregnant woman in a nightdress does a comically alluring dance to attract her husband, who drags her into bed. A woman in a bar sits in a man's lap and caresses his face. A man grinds against a woman from behind and grabs her breasts, both fully clothed, scene cuts as it is implied they are about to have sex on the kitchen floor.
Violence & Gore
moderateA woman is involved in a car crash and is pulled from the car with blood all over her face. She is shown in hospital with bandages and terrible bruising. Later her bandages are removed to reveal some fairly awful-looking scars. A woman slaps a man, who hits her back much harder. A little blood is shown around her mouth. Later in the movie the man attacks her again, slapping and punching her several times as she screams for him to stop. She is later shown with a bruised face.
Profanity
