Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Hateship Loveship is a slow-moving drama (based on a short story by Alice Munro) about a sheltered and naive woman who, upon becoming the victim of a cruel trick, goes down a path that changes many lives -- including her own. Kristen Wiig moves away from her comic background to star as Johanna, an affection-starved woman who ends up throwing herself at a very surprised man. Expect several sex scenes (no sensitive body parts are shown, but there's clear thrusting/movement), a glimpse of a naked male behind, frequent drinking (including by teens), and some drug use (cocaine). Swearing isn't constant but includes "s--," "f--k," and more.
Sexual
Content
A couple is shown having sex multiple times. No body parts are visible, but there are plenty of thrusting motions.

Teen girls discuss some sexual activities, and one of them is later seen kissing her boyfriend.

Some arguing.

Moderately frequent swearing includes "f--k," "s--t," "screw," "t-tties," "bitch," etc.

An ex-con tries to turn over a new leaf, giving up drugs and trying to become a better father. That makes it easier for his father-in-law to let go of his anger for a very real offense that happened long ago.
Consumerism
Some mentions of brands, including Facebook, and several scenes show people using iPhones or Mac computers.
Drugs / Tobacco /

One character smokes cigarettes throughout the film. He also snorts cocaine multiple times, though he later tries to get clean and dumps it down the toilet. Some people drink beer and hard liquor, including one scene that features teen girls drinking vodka straight from the bottle.
