Violence & Gore

  • Occasional scenes of a husband physically abusing his wife, and at one point, his son as well.

  • A man pushes another man into a pile of trash bags with his motorcycle. No blood is shown.
  • Spousal abuse is present. The leading character strikes his girlfriend. A suicide attempt is heavily implied, as the after effects are seen and the gunshot is heard.

Profanity

  • About 10 uses of "fuck," "shit," "hell," "damn," 1 use of "faggot," and 1 "motherfucker" respectively.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Since the plot revolves around band performances on the stage in the '80's club scene, alcohol usage is visible, as is smoking. There is no promotion of either in the film and any reference is entirely within context
