Fletcher makes a couple of brief sexual references, not explicit.

Absolutely No Nudity throughout the Movie.

A man plays the drums quickly and gets an open callus. Instead of stopping, he puts on a bandage and keeps playing. Blood seeps through the bandage, and the man puts on more bandages.

Neiman gets into a car accident, not very gory and explicit.

A man puts his bloody fist into a jar of ice water after drumming incessantly. Blood quickly stains the water in the jar.

Rated R for swearing.

A man is shown drinking alcohol in a jazz bar.

Some mild drinking involved.

This movie is very intense.

Fletcher emotionally torments a young student in ways that may be triggering for viewers with a history of psychological abuse.
