Profanity

  • Two uses of the f-word throughout the movie; one of them is inaudible.

  • Zu is a drug dealer. Drugs occasionally appear and are mentioned.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There are multiple musical sequences with flashing lights and bright colors, which could be distressing to some autistic viewers.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • There's a visible wound and blood smeared on Zu's face when she trips and hits her head on the stairs up to the apartment complex.
  • Felix's father chokes his mother and then strikes Felix, knocking him into a table and killing him; blood is quickly shown.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The character Zu gets drunk in one scene.
  • Zu goes to a party, drinks a lot of strong alcohol, takes some unidentified drugs, and then drinks some more.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Several characters die suddenly.
  • Two restraining scenes: in the first scene, Ebo puts Music in a supine position. In the second, Zu, instructed by Ebo, climbs on Music and places her in a prone position. These scenes are shocking, especially when the prone position restraint has been proven on several occasions to be fatal for the person being restrained.
  • At the eighty-minute mark, Felix's father strangles Felix's mother and accidentally kills Felix by striking him and hitting the table. Felix's mother cries out. Very triggering for victims of domestic violence and parents who lost a child.
