The violence is not shown, but Prudence has a black eye when she arrives at the main characters' apartment and alludes to a man she lived with doing that to her.

People are shot on screen but no gore is shown. One scene involves many bombings and shootings and no actual people are shown dying, but there are blood splatters. Multiple people are assaulted and shown bleeding.

Also the tween brother of another character is killed in a scene depicting the Detroit Riots. We don't see him killed, but we see his body in a casket at the funeral.

A black character is killed almost at the same time in the film as a white character, their funerals are shown at the same time in a montage.
