| nudity | There are a few references to casual sex in the conversations, including one fleeting reference to two women sleeping together...the latter however is not a serious suggestion but part of banter. At one point there is an ice sculpture of a nude man and clear innuendo referring to a certain part of his anatomy and the state it is in, which is seen and discussed by the women in the room, but (as far as I recall) no frontal nudity is shown by the camera which shows only (albeit very clearly) the side view of a bare buttock of the sculpture. There are instances of a man and a woman (who are to be married) kissing. There are derogatory comments by the mother of the bride about the relative sizes of two of the bridesmaids' busts. Female dress is on the whole quite modest by modern standards; one character in particular does wear a more revealing top but I think more as a consequence of having a fuller bust than in order to deliberately flaunt herself! |
| violence | A pillow fight between young women that is not just for fun. A forced abduction which is not frightening in the context. |
| profanity | One instance that I recall but I did not make notes through the film: name calling of 'bitch' at one point, by a young woman referring to another young woman (three times in succession I think, the last time yelled but in the absence of the person being insulted). Perhaps the opening scene had one or two instances of some mild vulgarity. |
| alcohol | Wine is used quite often during the film outside of mealtimes by young women in particular and there is reference to over indulgence by one of them, but there is no drunkenness apart from one brief scene which is quite harmless. |
| frightening | On a couple occasions a group of young women intimidate another young woman to extract information from or to get something done by the other young woman. Violence is hardly involved although it is in the context of restraint and forced detention. A good example of the type of threat used would be to cut off a lock of the person's hair after it has been specially arranged or to stain their best clothing. On one occasion a young women insults three other young women and damages their clothing by ripping off some decorative trim. |
