Violence and gore in Test
Some moderate, non-graphic violence is present, mostly stemming from a subplot involving crime and debt. A character is confronted and threatened by creditors, and a brief fight with punches thrown occurs. Most of the action is confined to the non-violent sport of cricket, but these few tense altercations contribute to the PG-13 rating.
Language in Test
Moderate profanity is used throughout the film, including terms like "hell" and "damn." A single use of the f-word is likely during a moment of intense anger or crisis, which is the strongest instance of language in the film.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Test
This category is mild. There are brief scenes of social drinking, such as characters having a glass of wine or whiskey at home to de-stress. There is no depiction of drunkenness or drug use.
Mature themes in Test
The film is driven by strong, mature themes that may be upsetting for younger viewers. Core themes include the pressure of professional failure, the emotional pain of infertility, ethical compromises driven by financial desperation, and marital deception.
