Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this subtitled Swedish film is definitely not for kids. With graphic sexual violence, gruesome murders, torture, and pervasive coarse and sexual language, even adults might be disturbed by what they see. Expect multiple images of mutilated dead young women and numerous instances of female nudity (including breasts), as well as partial male nudity in graphic tortuous poses. The female heroine smokes continuously. Still,k despite the intense content, the movie's message of good triumphing over evil ultimately provides some relief.

Sexual Content

Consensual sex and explicit sexual activity with partial nudity, both male and female (breasts). Graphic sexual dialogue.

Violence

Several sequences graphically depict sexual assault, forced oral sex, torture, beatings, and bloody attacks. Numerous gruesome photographs of mutilated female bodies appear throughout. Characters are strangled, hung, whipped with electrical cords, drowned, and burned.

Language

English subtitles in translation from the Swedish include multiple use of "f--k," "motherf--ker," "bitch," "s--t," "goddamn," "whore," "c--t," "blow job," "damn," and more.

Social Behavior

Despite the intense violence perpetrated by people in power, the movie's overall message is that victims of outrageous crimes and abuse can find dignity and self-respect by developing their skills and reaching inward for courage and strength.

Consumerism

Apple computers, Google, Castrol, KIA.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

The lead character, a young woman, smokes cigarettes non-stop. There's also some moderate social drinking in a number of scenes.
