The Valley

Not shown but central to the story: A teen ends her life by jumping from her dorm window. An alleged teen assailant is grabbed and held by the throat, physically intimidated, and threatened with gun violence by the victim's father. A gun is pulled out in other instances, leaving viewers unsure whether the intention is to harm. A college student believes she was raped, but it's not clear if she was -- though it's certainly implied that she was slipped a date rape drug and was likely assaulted.

A teen bets he'll be able to bed a certain girl. A married woman is seen kissing a man other than her husband.

"S--t," "a--hole," and multiple uses of the word "f--k."

Activities at a fraternity party include smoking pot and underage drinking. Adults drink wine/alcohol at dinner, at a party they are hosting, and at a bar. It's suggested that a date rape drug is slipped into a woman's tequila shot.

Parents need to know that The Valley is about the impact that a teen suicide has on a successful Indian-American family living in Silicon Valley. Squarely aimed at parents, the story is told from the perspective of grieving father Neal (Alyy Khan), who's trying to unwind the events leading to his daughter's death. The story places the daughter's depression and anxiety on the shoulders of her family, who are portrayed as too distracted by their own lives to notice her faltering emotional state. The movie also tries to dispel the idea that if a family has wealth, it will automatically thrive. The girl's suicide isn't shown, but it affects the whole story. It's also implied that a young woman is drugged and raped by a fraternity member, and there are other physical altercations and the threat of gun violence. College students at a party drink and smoke pot, and Neal drinks and swears ("s--t," "f--k," etc.).
