There is no sexual content in this film.

Violence is limited to a brief, non-graphic moment where the young protagonists experiment with toy weapons and discuss the logistics of a bank robbery. No actual harm occurs, and the tone is grounded in childhood fantasy rather than realistic threat.

The film contains infrequent, mild language consistent with 10-year-old boys feeling frustrated or stressed, including a single instance of 'crap' and 'damn'.

There is a fleeting scene where one of the characters finds an old, discarded beer bottle in a park, which is briefly mentioned as a 'gross' item found by children.

The central theme focuses on the anxiety of losing a best friend and the extreme, misguided lengths children may go to in order to maintain a connection. The film treats these feelings with sincerity, highlighting the emotional weight of childhood transitions.

You've Got Me runs 14 minutes, directed by Farrel Ewanena, released in 2026.
