This is contentious, but the film centres on psychological manipulation and techniques similar to gaslighting. Not in any specific relationship though.

It’s implied throughout that Teddy had a history of alcohol abuse while his wife was alive, post WW2.

One patient talks about possibly exposing himself to another character without her consent, and describes how she secretly ‘wants’ it. None of this is shown or discussed beyond this brief conversation.

No but there is imagery of a failed suicide attempt with a gun that leaves the face disfigured with lots of blood.

Teddy spots a body in the water offside the cliff and assumes it to be his partner, however he cannot find it as he climbs to investigate. No such scene explicitly shown

Yes, the R word is used. A patient in the asylum uses this word and other slurs in a rant against people he thinks should be euthanized.

While not classic kidnapping, characters are insinuated as being violently held against their will. This could potentially be upsetting to those with this trigger.

There are no ‘ghosts’ per se, but a character routinely hallucinates people who are dead and bloody.

(not necessarily misophonia but as someone with misophonia and sensory issues it was difficult to watch) scene where the lead scribbles violently with a pencil to disturb one of the patients and it is uncomfortably long

It's talked about that a nazi soldier attempted suicide but only the aftermath is shown not the act itself.

Main character suffers from PTSD, and it's a prominent theme throughout.

Characters are seen in incredibly small/dark spaces, which may bring on a sense of claustrophobia.

There is a scene where somebody is digging into their arm and using the blood to write on a wall, however the scene is very brief (1:10:53)

One character gets migraines, which are shown as bright flashes of light to illustrate his photosensitivity.

World War II imagery is shown throughout a character’s memory flashbacks, including imagery from a concentration camp. Another character is referenced to have been a Nazi. Take care, as these scenes are somewhat graphic although relatively brief.

It's set in the 1950s, so there are outdated attitudes toward mental illness. Also, it includes some depictions of mental illness that are unrealistic in a way that could be offensive to some viewers.

While nothing is shown, there are crass/crude explicit comments in some of the dialogue.

Teddy/Andrew refuses to accept reality and is ultimately sent to be lobotomized. It is implied that he intentionally refused to accept that he killed his wife so the lobotomy could make him forget the past, essentially 'killing' him mentally.

A car doesn’t crash, but one explodes without injuring anyone. This imagery may be startling for those with triggers involving car wrecks.
