Message
3/5

Love is courageously embraced in the darkest of circumstances. With compassion and teamwork, communities, family members, and a married couple help a young couple in their pursuit of refuge. Communities across the country unify in their support of a couple. Also includes message that just because someone is the same ethnicity/color as you, that doesn't necessarily mean that they think like you or will genuinely advocate for you.

Role model
3/5

A couple chooses love despite their fears. Another couple shows courage, compassion, empathy by taking a risk, opening their home to others in trouble. A mechanic extends compassion by quickly fixing a distressed couple's car. An uncle shows courage and teamwork by giving his niece refuge. A father shows unconditional love by not endangering his son. In context of representation of marginalized voices, "call girls" are presented as having good hearts and compassion in their gentle treatment of Queen and Slim. A woman forgives her uncle for murdering her mother. A Black man and Black woman advocate for each other on the deepest level, which is a positive counter-stereotype.

Violence
4/5

Many graphically violent scenes: A cop shoots an unarmed character in the leg, a character shoots a cop in self-defense, a kid kills a police officer, officers kill an armed kid, cops use gun force and take lives. Lots of blood and a death scene. 

Sex
4/5

Graphic sex scene between two consenting adults includes nudity (breasts, buttocks). Kissing. Women dressed in very revealing/suggestive clothing.

Language
5/5

Extreme, constant swearing includes "f--k," "bitch," "hos," "ass," the "N" word, "cop killers," and "motherf----rs."

Consumerism
1/5

Queen and Slim use a very expensive car that belongs to Queen's uncle.

Drugs
3/5

Adult drinking in a night club/bar scene. Characters smoke marijuana in one scene, and there's a little cigarette smoking by adults.
