Sex and nudity in Unicorn Store
No nudity or sexual activity. The content is limited to a few instances of wildly inappropriate behavior from Kit's boss, Gary. He makes her uncomfortable by touching her, smelling her hair, and making awkward, unwelcome advances. This is handled as a mild but clear depiction of workplace harassment.
Violence and gore in Unicorn Store
Violence is absent from the film. There is no fighting, weapons, blood, or significant peril. In one very brief moment, a minor character mentions liking to draw pictures of knives but quickly clarifies that he has no violent intent. The film's tone remains consistently non-violent.
Language in Unicorn Store
The film contains moderate profanity. The word "shit" is used approximately half a dozen times, along with a couple uses of "bullshit." There is also one exclamation of "Jesus" as an expletive. The language is the main element that pushes the film toward a PG-13 sensibility.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Unicorn Store
Substance use is very light. Characters are seen drinking wine socially during a family dinner. In one scene following this, Kit is depicted as being slightly drunk. There is no smoking or drug use.
Mature themes in Unicorn Store
The film explores mature themes of failure, disillusionment with adulthood, family conflict, and the struggle to maintain one's identity. There are tense, emotional arguments between Kit and her parents. In one scene, a character verbally mentions that a child was abused by a neighbor, which is a brief but heavy topic. The film also clearly depicts workplace harassment, though it's not a central plot point.
