early in the film, it deals with the main characters emotionally abusive mother. The relationship between them does improve throughout the movie, but we do see a child being told that her feelings are hurting others.

Aside from the content of the movie itself, in the DVD menu, the main actress faces the camera and talks to the viewer, instructing them to pick an option from the menu. The longer you watch, the more agitated she behaves, saying things like, "Why are you still here? Pick an option!" She also reads aloud legal letters related to whether or not the movie is or is not copyright infringement of Batman intellectual property. At the end of this clip, you get to see her pet cat!
