Sex & Nudity
-
- We get a flashback to a tender kiss at sunset.
- Sam's seen in bed wearing a camisole.
Violence & Gore
-
- We see Sam's husband, wounded and dying in a rainy alley after being mugged. By way of both animation and live action we see bullets fly.
- In prison, Joe gets into a brawl, battering several inmates with repeated and vicious blows to the head while trying to protect an old man. (Blood covers one man's face.)
- The elderly prisoner has his palm sliced open with a knife (onscreen). As mentioned, Keisha is accidentally hit by a car (offscreen).
- A young Joe is bitten by a rattlesnake. Sam attempts to help him to safety, but he collapses from the effect of the venom.
- In grade school, Joe punches out a bully who's pushing Sam around.
- We see Joe's blood staining the side of his shirt, and later he's unconscious in a pool of his own blood because of his failing kidneys.
- We're told a brief story of Keisha watching her mother's murder. We see her hiding in a cabinet in a burning kitchen.
- Sam sits with a gun, contemplating suicide. She goes so far as putting it up to her chin. (The film points out what a foolish waste that choice would have been.)
Profanity
-
- A school bully spits the racist slur "coon" at young Joe.
- In prison, "cracker" gets thrown around a few times.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Keisha and Macon's foster mom smokes and drinks on a regular basis.
- Another border in the low-income "commons" smokes cigars.
- We see Joe with a bag full of prescription drugs; he gulps some of them down.
