nudity | Nia pushes Craig onto a bed in one scene. They are interrupted before they go further, but Nia mentions how she'd like to "do it" in a hospital. When Craig and Noelle finally develop a relationship, he talks about his ambition to sketch her naked. We see Craig drawing on a canvas, and Noelle peeking from behind (we see her bare shoulders). The ward's shower doesn't have a lock, and a nurse walks in on Craig (we see his bare shoulders and her surprised face). Craig pictures Nia in a bathtub, her toes and shoulders exposed. Lots of sexual jokes throughout, and crude names for body parts. Example: a vagina is referenced as a beaver. |
violence | In a dream, Craig is about to jump off of a bridge to kill himself, but is interrupted by his family. In a frustrated rage, Bobby screams and throws books around a room. Craig is shown projectile vomiting at a restaurant with his family at the beginning of the movie after being asked how a class in school is going Self harm cuts can be seen on Noel |
profanity | Three uses of "s**t" two uses of "d**k" some mild language One f-word Girl gives a guy the finger Two uses of a transphobic slur. Pencil drawing of a penis is shown. |
alcohol | Bobby and Craig briefly discuss a character who has a mental disorder because he took 100 pills of acid in one night. Bobby and Craig pay off a janitor with some sort of pills to get into a gym. Members of the ward are seen lining up for their medication. A Teenager is seen smoking. |
frightening | The movie can be depressing at parts, being about a 16 year-old boy checking himself into a mental hospital because of suicidal thoughts. His fellow patients have disorders, one schizophrenic, one who cuts herself (never seen), and a man whose wife kicked him out and is afraid to reconnect with his daughter. Suicide and mental stress is a main theme. Ages 12 and up. |
