Sex and nudity in Gigi & Nate
This category is very mild. At the beginning of the film, a young woman removes her shirt to reveal a bikini top before jumping into a lake. Another female character is also seen with some cleavage in her top. These moments are brief and not presented in a sexualized context.
Violence and gore in Gigi & Nate
There is no actual violence or gore. One scene involves the family dog chasing Gigi, the capuchin monkey, through the house, causing a chaotic mess but no real harm. Protesters also gather outside the family's home, which creates a tense but non-violent confrontation.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Gigi & Nate
There is one primary scene involving substances. Nate attends a college party where various young people are shown drinking beer from red cups. In a separate scene, Nate's father is seen drinking whiskey while looking stressed.
Mature themes in Gigi & Nate
Thematic content is the most significant element. The film centers on Nate's near-fatal bout with meningitis, which results in quadriplegia. This is followed by his deep depression and a pivotal, emotionally heavy scene depicting a suicide attempt (the attempt itself is off-screen but the setup and aftermath are shown). The film also explores the intense emotional toll on the family and the heartbreak of Nate being legally forced to separate from his service animal.
