My 16 year old daughter and I were thinking of seeing American Psycho. We understand that it's very graphic and violent, but we were wondering exactly how graphic and violent. Is it as graphic as spring awakening? We know it's more violent than Sweeney Todd, but how much more violent? Thank you!

A lot of swearing, no nudity but in the whole second act Benjamin Walker is in his underwear and others are in there bras and underwear, if you guys can handle very mature content then go see it, it's a great show if you can handle it

As a father of three daughters I would describe the violence as mild to moderate ..... I would say it is ok violence-wise for my daughters, if they were age about 14 and up.
The sex scenes are more graphic, in my opinion, than the violence. The sex is more graphic than the two productions of Spring Awakening I have seen. At least you can justify to your daughter in Spring Awakening that the main sex scene is between 2 characters who love each other .... in AP .... it is all about hedonism. There are multiple sex scenes some of which are meant to be hilariously perverse. I don't want to give anything away but as I watched the show, I was expecting the next thing that would come out onto the stage was a three way between a homeless man, the Easter bunny, and a blender.
I would definitely not take my daughters, age under 18, to see AP. If it helps you decide, I would describe myself as an open-minded, socially liberal person. The sex scenes were funny .... just a little too much for me as a parent of three daughters.
