Some people inhale smoke in a house on fire and coughs. Eventually off-screen a character dies of smoke inhalation.

The main character has a variety of bizarre and worrying medical problems and there are several trips to doctors and hospitals for testing. There is also a hospital deathbed scene of a different character. Take care if you have health- or medicine-related anxieties/triggers.

caden salivates a lot and it’s a bit wet, it’s not over the top but it’s gross to look at and hear. once hazel and caden get their food at the restaurant, just skip ahead a little if you’re really sensitive to it.

The main character sleeps in a closet. He doesn't seem bothered by this, but it may bother some viewers.

[SPOILERS] the main character has a suicide attempt, but he is stopped from throwing himself off a building. Later one of the actors playing him in his play actually does kill himself in the same way.

The main character, apparently a cis man, is mistaken for a woman named Ellen by a nearsighted older woman, although it's not done maliciously. He later tearfully confesses that he sometimes thinks he would rather be a woman, and he wants to be seen as pretty. After this he hires a female actor to play him in a play, and he presents in a subtly more feminine way for a couple of scenes but this doesn't continue until the end. It's only a brief part of the film and it's hard to say whether the film "intends" for the character to be read as trans, but it's very odd and could be confronting for people who have triggers around misgendering.

They are not blood relations, but there is an abusive relationship between a young girl and her mother's lover Maria who is a second mother-figure for the child. She is groomed as a child and the relationship continues into adulthood, and she continues to love her abuser. None of this is shown onscreen, just described (in scenes that are supposed to be both distressing and darkly funny).

While occasionally funny, overall it's an extremely bleak movie that speaks directly about loneliness, depression, and death, and the ending doesn't let much light in. You may want to skip this one if you are not in a good place.
