The Secret in Their Eyes

Unsafe — contains visual nudity and/or sex scenes

Sex & Nudity Content

Visual content only. References, dialogue, and jokes don't count.

  • A man takes out his penis and shows it to a woman. This is shown very clearly.
  • A rape scene shows the bare back of a man as he kneels over a woman in a bed, he pulls his pants down below bare buttocks, rips away the woman's tank top to reveal her breasts and abdomen, and we see thrusting motions, as the woman groans and cries; later we see the crime scene where the woman is shown badly scraped over her entire body and she is almost entirely nude (we see her lying on her back with her genital area covered with a sheet corner, and her panties down around one ankle).
  • A man and a woman embrace lightly twice and kiss very briefly once.
  • A female court officer states that vaginal penetration in a rape case was very deep.
  • Throughout the film, instances of unrequited love are mentioned in conversations: loveless marriages, high school crushes, a man widowed early in marriage and never remarrying, and an older court counselor in love with a younger, married female court supervisor; one male character states several times that no one can abandon his or her passion.
  • A comment is made about a high school boy that seems to look at a high school girl often and with passion in his eyes, as if he is in love with her.
  • A courthouse employee dispatches unwanted business calls by answering the phone falsely as "Sperm Bank; do you want to make a deposit or a withdrawal?"
  • A man searches another man's room and finds magazine photos of bare-chested men.
  • We see the back of a man at a urinal in a men's room (he is clothed), in one toilet stall; we see an older man with his trousers down (he has long white shorts and bare knees).
