Fallen Leaves: parents' guide

No fights, but some injury detail: a man's injured arm is bandaged with brief blood, and a main character is hit by a train, handled without gore, and lands in a coma. Youths rob a passed-out man; a zombie-movie clip implies a beheading.

Sparse, deadpan dialogue, but the UK ratings board lists infrequent strong language, including the f-word, plus milder terms such as shit, bloody and damn in the subtitles. No source gave a count.

Nothing beyond a few shy, awkward dates between two lonely adults and a coworker's failed attempt to chat up a woman at a karaoke bar. No sex scenes, nudity or sexual talk turned up in any source we read.

Alcoholism drives the plot: the hero spikes his coffee, drinks on the job, passes out at a bus stop and loses work and housing before quitting. The heroine's father and brother drank themselves to death. Characters smoke; a bar owner is arrested for dealing drugs.

No scary scenes beyond a brief zombie-movie clip, but the mood is melancholy. Radio bulletins about the Russian invasion of Ukraine repeatedly mention bombings and dead children, and a main character's accident and coma bring a stretch of worry.
