What's in the title & why it matters

Language Moderate
3/5

Profanity includes 50+ uses of "f_ck," one use of "motherf_cker," two uses of "c_nt," several uses of "sh_t," a few uses of "b_tch," one use of "a_s," and three middle finger gestures.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking Mild
2/5

Alcohol and tobacco use appear throughout, including several social drinking scenes. A character is drugged.

Violence & Scariness Heavy
4/5

Violence is extreme and graphic. A woman walks in on a man raping her friend and beats him to death with a paperweight, striking him repeatedly in a very bloody scene. A character pulls out their own tooth with pliers, with massive bloodshed. In the most brutal scene, an injured man is struck in the head and falls over a staircase railing, his body smashing against railings repeatedly as he plummets before his bloody, mangled body hits the ground.

Sex, Romance & Nudity Heavy
4/5

Sexual content is explicit and frequent. An explicit sex scene shows a couple having sex on a bed and against a window, with full female nudity including breasts, buttocks, and side, followed by the man presumably touching her genitals while they lie in bed. Additional explicit sex scenes with female nudity appear throughout. A woman sponge-bathes in a public restroom on multiple occasions, with her breasts and abdomen visible. Female cleavage is prominent throughout the series.

The Review

Written by Parent Guide Plus Editors

A psychological thriller directed by Paul Feig with several twists. Tension builds more effectively in the second half than the first, where pacing is uneven. The script and its faithfulness to the source novel have drawn mixed reactions, though most viewers found it suspenseful overall.
