Sex and nudity in What is Love?
Brief, non-graphic romantic contact and references to past sexual relationships. Several scenes show couples kissing intimately (no nudity) and characters talk frankly about affairs and sexual history when recounting the marriage's collapse. There are a few off-screen implications of past sexual choices that shape characters' emotions but no explicit sexual activity shown.
Violence and gore in What is Love?
No graphic or prolonged physical violence. The film contains a handful of tense, realistic confrontations — shouting matches, one scene where a character (Fred) shoves Marguerite during a heated argument, and an off-screen mention of a past physical escalation that affected their marriage. There are no weapons, no blood, and no scenes of sustained cruelty; the physical moments are brief and framed as emotional fallout rather than action.
Language in What is Love?
Moderate adult language throughout: intermittent use of stronger words in moments of anger and several scenes of caustic, cutting dialogue between former partners. Language is mostly contextual — used to express frustration and pain rather than for repeated profanity-driven humor. Expect occasional 'damn' and harsher terms in intense scenes.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in What is Love?
Light on substance scenes: characters smoke and drink socially in several sequences, including a party and a quiet late-night conversation. Alcohol is used as an emotional prop (to loosen tongues or heighten arguments) but there are no depictions of addiction, hard drug use, or intoxication-based danger.
Mature themes in What is Love?
Strong mature themes: divorce/annulment, infidelity, betrayal, parenting decisions, and the long-term emotional consequences of past choices. The story dwells on memory, regret, and the complexity of rebuilding trust; some scenes may be emotionally heavy for younger viewers. There is no explicit depiction of self-harm or graphic abuse, but discussions of abandonment and marital breakdown recur.
