Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

No Graphic Sex/Nudity.But R-Rated.

We see a man from behind, out of focus (Blurred through Auto-Focus Technique), and in the background undressing and bathing.

Two men have sex in a tent. One Unbuckles his belt. And try to kiss other man. Then as one pulls the seat of the other's jeans down, we can see his bare butt. The rest is filmed from the shoulders up. One spits in his hand before beginning his thrusting. The next morning, we see one of them pulling his jeans up.

A man wearing only his boots is shown kneeling at a river as he washes his clothes.

A married couple have sex with the man lying on the woman's back.(The scene is not graphic and very brief, You might not observe thrusting)

A man and a woman kiss passionately in a car. She strips and he caresses her breasts. (The scene very brief with nudity lasts for 2-3 seconds.)

We see from a distance two men jump into a river nude. Frontal nudity in this scene is a brief, blurry, moving target.

A wife refuses to have intercourse with her husband as he lies on top of her (Breasts Visible for 5 seconds).

A man picks up a street hustler. They walk off down the dark street.

Violence & Gore

No Graphic Violence.

We see a sheep that has been gutted by a coyote.

A fist fight between two men leaves them bloodied We see shirts with blood on the sleeves..

A man shows his two sons a corpse that has been castrated, we see the corpse from distance.

A man threatens to hit a woman, but he ends up in a fist-fight with a man instead.

A group of men bludgeon a man with a tire iron. We see his bloody face. This is shown in a very brief series of rapid cuts.

We see shirts with blood on the sleeves.

Profanity

The F-word is used at least 25 times. The S-word is used not less than eight times. And some abusing.

Some scenes depict characters drinking, sometimes to excess. Several characters are smokers.

Two characters share something that might look like a joint as they sit by a lake drinking whiskey out of a bottle and discussing the women in their lives (one hour and forty minutes into the film). Otherwise there is no drug content.

The whole movie is emotionally intense.
