| nudity | Young Vivi and her friends ride topless in a convertible and are caught by the local sheriff (theyre shown from the back). A few womens outfits show cleavage, and a few scenes show women wearing panties (albeit very modest ones). Sidda is shown from the front wearing a thong, prompting one Ya-Ya to blurt, "I dont understand having those underwear up your a-- crack." Vivi's mother makes a vague accusation about incest, calling it a "mortal sin." |
| violence | There is a scene where a child vomits on his mother. During their Sisterhood ceremony, the Ya-Yas use a knife to make tiny cuts in their palms; then they press their hands together to mix their blood. Young Vivi screams at her husband, throws a frying pan on the counter, and beats her children with a belt. |
| profanity | 1 f-word, more than a dozen s-words |
| alcohol | Smoking and drinking are in the film. Young Vivi takes a medication called Dexamyl, which was used to cure alcoholism. It causes her to hallucinate and go catatonic. |
| frightening | Young Vivi takes an overdose of medication which causes her to hallucinate and beat her children with a belt quite brutally. Very intense, emotional scene. |
