Sex and nudity in Get Help
Sexual content is very light. There are a couple of brief kisses between a main character and her boyfriend. A character also alludes to having had a "shotgun wedding," implying a pre-marital pregnancy, which is discussed as a reason for her social isolation. These elements are brief and not detailed.
Violence and gore in Get Help
Violence is more psychological and emotional than graphic, but some scenes are intense. The aftermath of domestic abuse is shown when a character appears with a black eye. Another character is forcefully arrested and dragged away by police. The constant threat of racist violence and retribution hangs over the characters, and verbal abuse is frequent and cruel. A central plot point involves an act of humiliating revenge where a pie is deliberately contaminated with excrement and served to someone.
Language in Get Help
Some profanity is used, including "hell," "damn," and "bitch." The most significant language concern is the contextual use of racial slurs, including the n-word, to reflect the racist attitudes of the era.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Get Help
Characters frequently smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol (primarily cocktails and wine) in social settings, which is typical for the time period depicted. There is no depiction of substance abuse or addiction.
Mature themes in Get Help
The film is built on heavy thematic material. The primary theme is the pervasive and dehumanizing nature of systemic racism in the Jim Crow South. The story also deals with grief over the death of a child, the emotional and physical pain of a miscarriage, domestic abuse, social ostracism, and the moral courage required to fight injustice. These themes are explored with significant emotional weight.
