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

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.

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

It's set in the 1950s, so there are outdated attitudes toward mental illness.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.

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.

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.
