Sex and nudity in Time of Happiness
Brief and non-graphic sexual content appears several times: an early flirt/meet-cute in a dark restaurant (Dans le Noir) with kissing, an invitation to intimacy that the protagonist declines, and later implied sexual activity after couples move in together and marry. Nothing is explicit or shown nude; sex is communicated through suggestion and aftermath shots.
Violence and gore in Time of Happiness
A few tense, non-graphic incidents occur — most notably a drunken car crash (on a child's birthday) and the sequence where Tim goes back in time to prevent it. There is no graphic injury or gore shown; the danger and impact are emotional and situational rather than played for shock.
Language in Time of Happiness
Occasional mild-to-moderate profanity and crude remarks appear in party and domestic scenes (characters use coarse language in frustration or comedy). The film does not hinge on frequent explicit swearing but contains enough casual profanity that sensitive viewers should be aware.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Time of Happiness
Alcohol and tobacco are depicted: a character drinks heavily (leading to the car crash) and Tim's father is shown as a long-term smoker whose illness is tied to that habit. No illicit drugs are portrayed; substance use is shown with real-life consequences.
Mature themes in Time of Happiness
Strong emotional themes drive the story: grief and bereavement after a father's terminal illness and death, the ethical consequences of changing the past, parenthood and altered family outcomes, and relationship struggles. These themes are recurring and treated seriously — several scenes are explicitly about loss and mortality.
