Sex and nudity in Worth

None. There is no sexual content or nudity shown or discussed in the film.

Violence and gore in Worth

None. The film does not show physical fighting, on-screen injuries, or graphic violence; deaths from 9/11 are referenced and form the emotional core but are not depicted violently.

Language in Worth

Mild. Occasional coarse language and swearing appear — a handful of 's' and 'd' words, one audible use of 'Christ' in anger, and an interrupted/cut-off 'f' word; profanity is infrequent and non-sexual in tone.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Worth

None. There are no notable scenes of drinking, smoking, or drug use.

Mature themes in Worth

Moderate and recurring. The movie repeatedly addresses death, grief, loss of family members from 9/11, discrimination in benefits (Graham Morris's excluded partnership), and ethical/political pressure on Feinberg and Biros. Scenes include angry victims confronting administrators, parents and children affected by loss, and the emotional toll on staff who handle claims — these moments are earnest and sometimes intense but non-graphic.
