Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
The film features brief, non-graphic depictions of sexual encounters and references to intimacy that are handled in a stylized, minimalist animation style. These moments are peripheral to the story and lack explicit detail.
Violence & Gore
There are occasional depictions of medical procedures, accidents, and bodily harm that are presented in a stark, somewhat clinical, and minimalist manner. While not hyper-realistic, the imagery can be unsettling due to the context of the character's failing health.
Profanity
The film contains infrequent use of moderate profanity, including words such as "f*ck" (used occasionally in moments of frustration) and "sh*t" (used a few times to describe difficult situations).
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
The protagonist struggles with health issues and is depicted consuming medications, alcohol, and occasionally smoking as part of his daily routine and coping mechanisms. These habits are portrayed realistically as part of a downward spiral.
Frightening Scenes
The film explores heavy themes of mental illness, mortality, memory loss, and existential dread, which can be deeply distressing for younger or more sensitive viewers. The stark visual style and raw, philosophical narrative create an atmosphere of profound psychological intensity.
