Anthony

Racial violence is a major theme. A violent attack sequence, which includes the use of an ice pick, is partially visible, and cries of pain can be heard. No blood or injuries are shown at the scene but a lifeless body is visible. An x-ray image showing an ice pick sticking out of a skull is shown. The death of Walker in the hospital is shown. Domestic abuse is also alluded to.

Flirting, dating, and marriage are themes. Crude references like "t--s" and "knob" are sometimes used.

There’s some strong language, including words like "piss" and "arsed." The word "s--t" and local British curses are audible. The "N" word, along with other racist epithets, are used during altercations.

One cast member is an alcoholic. Wine, cocktails, and beer drinking are visible.

Parents need to know that Anthony is a dramatic work of fiction inspired by the unprovoked, racially motivated murder of Anthony Walker, a young British Black man, in 2005. While most of it is upbeat, it contains a strong message about the severity, and consequences, of racism in the U.K. It also contains some cursing and crude language, including "piss," "arsed," "s--t", and the "N" word. Drinking and drunken behavior is seen. The attack on Walker, and the ice pick used to kill him, is partially shown, and cries of pain are heard, but there is no blood. His passing in the hospital -- and the grieving loved ones he left behind -- are also featured. All of this said, the movie is a celebration and positive testament of the young man’s life.
