| profanity | 1/10 Use of "ass", "bitch", "crap", "damn" (two times with God's name), "fuck", "hell", " slut" and "shit" An obscene finger gesture. |
| alcohol | 3/10 Goldie is shown to be a drug addict and is seen smoking a joint at one point, and later on she starts using heroin. Teenagers are seen smoking joints and drinking alcohol. Ethan and Violet are both shown to smoke cigarettes. |
| frightening | 4/10 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. Misogyny vs. Misandry is a key theme for the film, and many women may be offended at how the main characters are treated. 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. Suggested MPAA Rating: R for Teen Nudity, Drug Use, Strong Language, Sexual References and Thematic Material Involving Violent Situations. Total Score: 44/50. Suitable for viewers 17 and up. |
