Sex and nudity in Sofia, the Possession
Brief and mostly off-screen/implied. The movie presents discovered artifacts (photographs, notes) and dialogue that strongly imply an inappropriate relationship and abuse by a female staff member; there are no explicit sexual scenes or nudity. These references are used as plot clues and trauma background rather than shown graphically.
Violence and gore in Sofia, the Possession
Strong and unsettling at times: the film features physical attacks connected to possession, shoving and fights in corridors, and a climactic sequence where Sofia is thrown and briefly choked. There is also a moment of a non-graphic corpse-related discovery (bloodied clothing/evidence) that is emotionally intense. Violence is not graphic with no extended gore, but it is sudden, physical, and frequently meant to shock.
Language in Sofia, the Possession
Moderate-to-strong profanity appears occasionally. Most curses are mild-to-moderate, but there is at least one harsher expletive used in a high-stress scene. Language is not pervasive but can be abrupt in confrontations.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Sofia, the Possession
Light and incidental. A few scenes show adult alcohol use (wine in an office) and a hidden bottle of liquor discovered in a dorm; there is no drug use or depiction of overdose. Teen characters are not shown regularly using substances.
Mature themes in Sofia, the Possession
Heavy themes run through the film: disappearance and probable murder, unresolved grief, boarding-school isolation, and implied child sexual abuse by a staff member. The occult/possession element compounds the emotional trauma; the story deals with loss and mistrust of adults and ends on an ambivalent note about closure. These themes are presented earnestly and can be upsetting for viewers sensitive to child abuse or death.
