The creatures look a great deal like giant hands, from the wrist down. One is killed, but no hand-like injury is shown.

There are some very vertigo inducing scenes, and there is one part where 2 characters fall from a great height, but no one dies.

But they are very, very mild -- like a sudden but relatively slow movement or a loud noise.

the aliens letters/words look like a coffee stain (a circle with a splotch) made of black mist that forms and then disappears. mostly they are 3-4 ft wide and one at a time. towards the end, hundreds or thousands of their words show up on the writing area at once. so a lot of small circles on a white background, touching and overlapping. i don’t have trypophobia, hope this helps

It’s very brief. One character takes off his suit and hunches over into a trash can. You can’t see anything other than him hunched over, and the sound is very hard to hear from all the noise in that scene

the ending is about accepting that sad things will happen in life, but that life is worth it. i'd call it bittersweet, but it still made me cry
