Most graphic depiction of a dogs death that I have ever seen. Also so out of place too, right after that intense romance scene... Strange...

Ally's controlling parents (or really her mother) might be triggering for some.

Ally hits and slaps Noah a few times during arguments, but he doesn't retaliate or say anything about abuse. Might still be upsetting for folks if women hitting men in relationships makes you uncomfortable.

At about 1/3 of the movie there's a scene that takes place in a logging. In an establishing shot a donkey can be seen dragging wood and being whipped. It's not particularly graphic, but it can be distressing.

The old woman is restrained by nurses and given a sedative when her alzheimer's makes her confused and combative. It doesn't seem like medical abuse to me though, it seems necessary to keep the old woman from hurting herself or others.

The phrase isn't explicitly said, but Noah threatens to drop from the Ferris wheel if Allie doesn't say she wants to go on a date with him. It's unclear how serious he is about the threat.
