Missing William

A man is punched in the face and spins around and hits his head on the hitch of a truck in a serious blow. A man sexually threatens a woman when he grabs her behind. A man punches another man in the face. A teen overhears a mother and father shouting angrily, and a recurring plot involves past references to a family escaping an abusive father. A minor scene of bullying involves teenagers mocking a boy for a hearing aid.

A bar scene involves a man grabbing a woman's behind and telling her she has a "great ass." A woman tells a man, as she enters a bedroom, that he should come "work off" the food he just ate, and the next scene cuts to them in bed, him shirtless, with intercourse implied. A man and woman kiss a few times. Another couple kisses briefly. A boy and girl kiss briefly.

Minor profanity, such as "dips--t," "hell," "bulls--ting," "ass," and referring to a woman negatively as a "broad."

Casual and serious drinking throughout. A man, visibly drunk, grabs a woman's behind and becomes aggressive, leading to a fight, and there's additional violence later outside. Four guys drink beers at a bar, and one says he's "gonna get hammered." A woman sips on wine at an art gallery. Friends drink beers at a bar. A man and woman drink wine straight from a bottle.

Parents need to know that Missing William deals with tragic violence and has escapist and casual drinking, mild profanity (including "s--t"), some implied intercourse, and issues concerning loss and grief, such as caring for a seriously injured partner. There's some backstory related to an abusive father and a fleeing family. Overall, it's a meditation on love, friendship, and grieving, but the heavy themes and bleak subject matter make it better for older kids and adults.
