Not super terrible for an R-rated film but there is blood and the fact that it’s based on real events adds another layer of disturbing to it.

The opposite. It contains a reenacting of the real audiotape taken during the interview of the victim. The cops ask inappropriate and discriminatory questions.

Out of film: Brandon, a trans guy, is played by a cis woman (albeit one who presented as male for a month to study for the role).
