Martha is missing for 2 years and left without telling her sister/anyone else and they discuss this abandonment.
Also Martha leaves the cult in the initial scene by leaving when they’re all asleep

A woman is consistently abused by a man who she believes loves her. A character kicks their in law down the stairs - the person is okay.

Sort of. It’s more of a case of she’s gaslit so hard into essentially thinking she isn’t being abused

Sort of. 2 characters discuss what has just happened with main expressing confusion (she was drugged) with one of the brainwashed characters rationalising it away and encouraging her that it’s happened to them all and it’s all part of the process. The word is never actually used in the movie as far as i recall

During her time at the cult Martha is drugged off screen and wakes up mid assault. Later Martha drugs a new cult inductee as part of the same “ritual” she and the other women were put through.
During the current timeline Martha is given some pills, likely tranquilisers as she is having a very severe panic attack.

The cult leader claims that he only produces male infants. The implication is that he kills the female infants. This isn't a reach given that he also doesn't think of murder as immoral, and he believes men are more valuable than women.

The cult only eats one meal per day, even if members are hungry, which could potentially fall into the eating disorder category. But otherwise, no.

The ending is more than just "ambiguous".
It abruptly ends on a car ride. There's a car driving behind them with a guy in it. Not highlighted in a tense way, either. It's just.. cut.
