Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Autumn
Light substance depiction: visible cigarette smoking by characters in social settings; brief references to alcohol appear in conversation but no illicit drug use is depicted on-screen. Substance use is incidental and not glamorized.
Mature themes in Autumn
Strong thematic material: incarceration and the difficulties of reintegration after ten years in prison, chronic illness and caregiving (Yusuf's elderly mother), loneliness, social marginalization, and the stigma surrounding sex work.
