Two girls follow a couple down the street for fun. They trail another man's car later. Not really stalking but still trailing people for their own amusement.

Not really Enid is 18 at youngest and has sex with an older man if that makes you uncomfortable I would probably avoid this movie all together because for the most part it’s about their developing relationship

Enid and Seymour drink wine together after she fails her art class, but none of the characters are alcoholics, and this scene is the only scene that features drinking.

Biggest flashes early on: At the back of the diner there is a prominent neon sign constantly flashing, seen in the background of several shots especially during the introduction of Steve Buscemi’s character.
Later in the art gallery there are several camera flashes in quick succession.
Other moments include flashing street signs and lightbulbs in the distance, telephone and answerphone lights blinking rapidly, and reflected light from TVs flickering on the walls/characters (including opening scene).

The n word isn’t used but the c word is used and Jim Crow imagery is shown surrounding c word chicken inn. The KKK is also mentioned when the imagery is shown. There are also a couple of anti black comments.

Josh calls Enid “a Jew” and he talks about anti Semitic conspiracy theories (specifically them controlling the world). She responds by calling him the K slur.
