While the gore is not shown in detail, I can not understate that this is one of the most brutal films I have ever seen, and what gore there is is incredibly realistic.

A character is viciously transphobic. The film is sympathetic to the trans woman in this scenario.

This film is the complete polar opposite of copaganda to the point of leaning straight into prison abolition.

A trans woman is brutally murdered. The film is sympathetic to her, but it is very graphic.

Nick Cave's character is vehemently racist to the point where it's easier to list the slurs he didn't say.

A character is extremely racist, and another is extremely transphobic to the point of violence. The film mentions an Aboriginal man being murdered by racists.

Not really, but the film is about the abuse of prison inmates driving them to violence, so... depends on how you feel about that.

Characters tend to monologue to the audience through narration.
