* RapeDiscretionShot: Since the victim character is a child, the act is filmed in a way that suggest the actor interaction was minimal. The act is conveyed by having adult actor Tobias Menzies doing sexually suggestive motions alone in a frame tightly focused on him and then jumping to a separate frame that shows the child actor struggling against a hand holding him down by the nape of his neck.
