No dogs die in the gift 2000.Not sure what version people are watching but the dog “Butch” is in one scene where Annie (Cate Blanchett) walks outside , pets Butch and lets him drink milk from her cup .
An adult male character was sexually abused by his father as a child and this is discussed heavily in his scenes. He confronts his father also which turns violent.
No onscreen assault takes place, but sexual abuse is a large part of one of the plots. An adult male character struggles with the fact that he was sexually abused by his father when he was a child. It gets recounted in detail. He's also mentally ill and often has outbursts. He's violent, suicidal, emotional, and has a strangely childlike personality despite all of that. It gets VERY intense/graphic and feels a little too real. I definitely didn't expect it in this movie at all since the description didn't mention him/it.
He gets revenge on the abuser, so that helped me cope a little. It's hard to stomach but the performances were amazing.
An adult male character deals with the fact he was sexually abused by his father as a child.
An adult female character is treated very oddly by her father which I think implies there is some level of abuse in her past by him but also potentially in her present. Some child abusers continue the abuse well into the victims adulthood, and their interaction definitely gave me that vibe.
