The Shuroo Process

Cast isn't especially racially diverse. But actor Tommy Dorfman, who has announced her identity as a trans woman, provides LGBTQ+ representation through her character Mark, who realizes that he struggles with his sexuality. Trans actor Iman Le Claire also plays a minor character. Olivia Sui's character, Nini, is revealed to have borderline personality disorder. While Nini refers to herself as "crazy," the character isn't a particularly egregious representation of someone with the diagnosis. A commentary could be made about the fact that Shuroo is a White man named Declan who's appropriating Indian guru culture. But the film doesn't venture to make this point.

Mention of burning down a church. Scene with another character calling Shuroo "Charlie Manson." Scene with description of child sexual abuse and a character getting stabbed.

Graphic sex scenes: a character beginning to masturbate by using another person's foot, several scenes featuring heavy petting/groping. A scene shows a character's underwear after she falls on a stage, and several scenes show shirtless men. Characters talk about sex -- e.g., saying "He wants to f--k you" or describe wanting "to get laid" or "sit on" a character's face. Humorous pelvic trusting.

Swear words include "s--t," "c--t," "motherf----r," "bitch," "s--thole," "pr--k," "goddamn," "bulls--t," "pencil d--k," "ass," and "tiny t-ts." Also words that could be seen as ableist ("crazy"). Exclamatory use of "oh God" and "Jesus."

A character refers to another's use of "the booze, the blow, [and] the smoking." Scenes with characters drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and taking drugs, including mescaline. Mentions of a Bloody Mary and meth binges, 12 steps, and cocaine. Several scenes show characters' actions during a mescaline high.
