| Message | Movie shows talented female songwriters in the 1960s attaining success in a traditionally male-dominated industry. |
| Role model | Edna Buxton/Denise Waverly displays tremendous resilience over the course of a decade in which she attains success as a songwriter in a male-dominated industry, writes songs about controversial topics, has a series of tumultuous love affairs and marriages, and finds the strength and courage to release a solo album that chronicles the heartbreak in her life. Through many of these challenges, she perseveres and displays good humor. |
| Violence | A character commits suicide by walking into the ocean and drowning. |
| Sex | A sight gag in which a diaphragm ends up stuck on the bedroom ceiling. Lead character walks in on her husband having sex with another woman. The songwriters observe what's happening to them and around them and compose songs on topics such as extramarital affairs, babies born out of wedlock, abortion, and closeted lesbians. Brief nudity: topless woman outside on a commune. |
| Language | "F--k" is frequently used. "S--t," "horse's ass." Outdated words such as "Negro." |
| Drugs | There is constant cigarette smoking. Beer drinking. Some marijuana smoking. |
