Lady Bird: parents' guide

Almost none. During an argument the heroine throws herself out of a moving car and breaks her arm; the camera stays inside the car, so the fall isn't shown. Otherwise just shouting matches.

Strong: one counted review found about 15 f-words and five s-words, plus two uses of the c-word, other crude terms for anatomy, "bitch," "asshole" and misuse of God's and Jesus' names.

A teen's first time with her boyfriend is shown briefly, with her on top in a bra, and it ends fast. A quick shot of Playgirl photos shows full-frontal male nudity. Teens make out, sex talk is frank, and masturbation is alluded to.

Teens smoke marijuana and get high, smoke cloves and cigarettes, and drink at parties. At a college party she drinks until she vomits and wakes in a hospital. A parent starts antidepressants, and a priest's son is said to have died of an overdose.

Nothing scary. The emotional weight comes from constant mother-daughter fighting, a father's job loss and depression, money worries, and the jarring moment the heroine leaps from the moving car.
