Not violent, but Deborah Lacks occasionally gets upset and acts erratically in a few scenes due to the trauma she has gone through regarding her mother and it is stated some doctors called her "paranoid" among other things due to this behavior.

This movie IS about the mistreatment of a black woman and her family, so naturally, yes, there is going to be antiblack racism.

The characters visit an old asylum while following up on the death of a family member. Current patients are not shown, they just go to a records room, but the treatment is stated to be poor in the 1950s.
