| nudity |
A young girl overhears a conversation between two men about how one of the men had been startled when he entered a room and found another man naked; the young girl's stepfather also hears the conversation and takes the young girl away.
A woman asks her young daughter if her father "kisses" a young woman, or if they share a bed and the young girl avoids the question. |
| violence |
The movie contains a whole lot of shouting from the arguing parents. |

About 9 F-words and its derivatives, 1 obscene hand gesture (a woman uses an obscene hand gesture in front of her young daughter), 2 sexual references, 4 scatological terms, 3 anatomical terms, 2 mild obscenities, 2 religious profanities and 10 religious exclamations.
Name-calling (liar and thief, headcase, total Nazi, delusional self, narrow minded, smells funny, tramp with a daddy complex, stalker and idiot.) |
| alcohol |
There are scenes of drinking wine and drinking at a bar, plus some scenes of people smoking. There is a scene of Maisie in a bar drinking a Shirley Temple. |
| frightening |
Maisie sees her parents breakup loudly and painfully in front of her.
Some scenes may be difficult to stomach, especially for kids whose parents are going through or have undergone a divorce or separation.
Maisie is often shown in heartbreakingly neglectful situations -- at school, with neither parent remembering to pick her up; being shuttled back and forth between apartments; etc.
Maisie's sees her parents fight and swear at each other. |
