    Very brief a couple is shown having sex. Bare breasts are shown.

    Brief glimpses of breasts.

    Chris (Emile Hirsch) is seen floating in a river while fully nude and his pubic hair can be seen. It is a somewhat distant scene.

    Tracy is sitting on a bed only in her undershirt and white panties as she tells a young man that her parents aren't home, implying her intent to have sex with him. He refuses because she is underage asking her how old she is, but she tries to lie about her age. A brief shot of her buttocks while still in her panties is seen when she moves back on the bed. Her vulva may possibly be seen as well cause a part of the panties look see-through.

    Chris gets beaten up by a railroad guard, who issues a death threat. He is later seen with a black eye and bloody lip.

    Kevin gets smacked in the face at a bar. (not really violent).

    Also very intense and bloody scene was when Chris shoots a moose and cut it into pieces with a knife. This scene is very graphic and realistic, with realistic sounds and gore as he cuts it up and tries to cook it.

    This movie is intended for older teens due to nudity, profanity and heavy themes.

    When Chris is beaten up on the railroad it is pretty intense, and could upset sensitive people.

    Flashbacks show Chris' dysfuntional family life include parents yelling, as well as grabbing each other. Can be quite intense
