Alienated teen Pauline struggles with the pressures of fitting into high school, pleasing her mother and a burning desire to lose her virginity. With a grotesque curiosity for the darker side of life, Pauline is considered a social outcast by everyone around her. Enticed by flesh, she retreats into her own fantasies and hopes to become a great surgeon - that is, if she doesn't go insane first.
This movie contains 29 potentially triggering events.
The main character has violent psychosexual fantasies. In some of these fantasies people are nude. I don’t think people were ever fully nude? I just remember seeing a lot of females breasts.
The mother is very verbally abusive toward the main character. The main character is also badly neglected, both medically and emotionally, by her parents. This is a major plot point.
No,but in the beginning of the movie the main character is having another dream. Throughout the movie this will happen. But the main character is a violent psychosexual. And in that dream it shows two of themselves sitting across from each other. One just sitting there and the other is aggressively spitting up a lot of blood,convulsing,and her eyes are rolled back. It’s uncomfortable to watch because you can hear her moaning in the background.
It’s a bit gory,but not too in your face. I still wouldn’t suggest this if you’re sensitive to gore/blood. You’ll see tongues ripped out and a bloody surgery scene performed by the main character.
i'm guessing everyone voted no cuz it's only mentioned in passing, but the guy pauline has sex with has a girlfriend, and she dumps him offscreen after finding out he slept with pauline
A character has a graphic fantasy of pulling a bloody fetus from between their legs before putting it in a microwave and making it explode. So, uh, I guess.
