There are some sexual references in the film when Chris asks Davis for advice about his sexuality.

There is also a scene where Karen is verbally harassed by a stranger who asks if he could touch her breasts.

The film contains utterances of coarse language such as the expletives 'motherf**ker' and 'f**k'. These are used in a non-aggressive manner as part of the characters' conversations with one another.

There are some drug references in the film where the female protagonist, Karen, is implied to be abusing marijuana.

In one instance, she purchases a pack of marijuana from an elderly man and licks a piece of paper in preparation of a joint. There are, however, no further details as she is later seen smoking from a distance.

Other instances where Karen is implied to be consuming marijuana depict her holding a joint between her fingers and a glowing ember seen inside her vehicle which is parked at a distance.

'Demolition' is a drama revolving around Davis Mitchell, a successful investment banker who loses his wife in a car accident. In an attempt to cope with the traumatic experience, Davis sets out to unravel his life by deconstructing the objects around him; including his home. He also writes multiple complaint letters to a vending machine company which leads him to befriend Karen, the company's customer service officer, and her son, Chris.

The film also contains some potentially harmful imitable behavior. For instance, Davis asks Chris to fire a loaded weapon at him after putting on a bulletproof vest. Another example shows Davis and Chris destroying his home using various heavy tools.
