Self-harm is central to the plot in the first half off the movie - mostly in the form of cutting. You don't see many close-ups.

Character occasionally limits her eating to portions directed by her dominant as part of their sexual play/BDSM lifestyle (I.e. she eats four peas, a tablespoon of mashed potatoes, a slice of butter, and ice-cream for dinner)
