Michael is committed to getting his best friend Chris to sober up and get his life back on track. With the best of intentions, Michael implements a plan to convince Chris to go to rehab before his drug addiction leads to an early death. But what begins as an attempt to save his friend's life quickly takes an unexpected turn as the two friends confront personal demons, the consequences of past actions, and forces beyond their control.
This movie contains 30 potentially triggering events.
Yes, but off-screen. An unpleasant yelp is heard after the sound of a gunshot. The next scene is the owner burying the dog. No image of a dead dog is shown.
No, but a character finds another character after they cut their wrist (off screen) with a coffee cup at the 1:05:00 mark. We see the bloody wrist, but there's no close up shot of it before it's bandaged. The character is fine.
I think people are voting yes about the non-drug addicted main character lying to his wife about what he was up to while away from her.
However, gaslighting is when someone denies or lies about what their victim is experiencing, to make them question their sanity.
The character was just lying, presumably with good intentions.
Insects are seen flying around sometimes. A character is also experiencing drug-induced psychosis and is complaining about bugs that aren't really there.
A character talks about wanting to die very often through out the movie, especially in the later half. There are multiple conversations where the character talks about wanting to die and why he wants to. The character attempts at the 1:05:00 mark, but is ok.
The intro sequence features flashing lights and a lot of very short clips in a row. Afterwards, there's occasional flashing or bright lens flare across the screen, but overall it doesn't happen often.
The drug addicted character says the f-slur in a moment of frustration. It's not aimed at a person. It was sort of used for emphasis. (Just trying to describe the moment; not excuse it.)
