  A man gets into a fight in a nightclub, and is later attacked outside at night by two other men.

  The main character hits a man in the balls by accident because of Tourettes.

• Profanity Severe

  The main character has Tourette's Syndrome, and since the film is about it, he excessively swears throughout because what he says is out of his control.

  Over ninety uses of "f**k" and twenty-five uses of "c**t" (not used sexually or aggressively). Frequent or excessive usage of "s**t", "Ass", "b**ch", "b**tard", "a**hole", "d**k", "p**sed", etc. Some British slang ("Slag", "tw*t", "w**ker", "Arse"), slurs ("n****r", "Fag"), and rude gestures are also used. As noted above, these words are used by the main character out of his control.

  A man and woman are in a car and use foul language constantly, words used are "Your dad wasted a sperm" "You're a c**t" I shagged your dad" "Penis" "f**k you" and many other foul words, after this is played off for laughs.

• Drugs Mild

  There is occasional sight of people smoking cannabis.

  There are references to dealing crack cocaine.

  There is sight of adult characters drinking alcohol.

  The main character is often seen smoking cigarettes.

  Verbal mentions towards heroin.

• Frightening Scenes Mild

  This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

  The film is very upsetting and can be very emotional since the man is beaten up threatened and been treated wrongly because of Tourettes which he can't control.

  In one scene, John unintentionally hits a dog due to a tic. We hear the dog yelp, which may cause some distress to some viewers. We immediately see the dog afterwards, wagging their tail and they're fine.
