Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that despite the seedy settings (so evocative that they're almost a character in the story), this is almost a traditional morality play about humility and redemption.

Sexual Content

Eddie and Sarah have (off-screen) sex; implication that Bert and Sarah have sex, a factor in her suicide.

Violence

Eddie beat up (in shadows); Sarah commits suicide (off-screen).
