ReportDDD Official Review
Guillermo del Toro's interpretation of "Frankenstein" is unabashedly his. While definitely gory, the copious amounts blood, stabbings, cuttings and dismembered body parts does indeed advance the story.
The characterization of Victor, played by Oscar Isaac, is excellent and the film is as much about him as it is the monster. This is a film that makes you think but is in no way boring. It is master filmmaking.
There are some sled dogs but they are never put in harms way. Some wolves on the other hand do get killed gruesomely. There's quite a bit of bone breaking but only one instance of vomit.
Synopsis
Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist, brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

I agree that the ending is nuanced. The Creature does explicitly forgive his abuser. There is a brief conversation earlier in the movie about the importance of forgiveness. But I question whether the message is to forgive abusers - I interpreted it as a personal choice by the Creature in a moment when he was dearly missing and grieving his relationship with Victor. To me, the movie spends more time outlining the horror of cycles of abuse and the severe pain it inflicts on victims and the community at large.

We don't see anything, but there's a scene where Victor's parents are heard having a very heated argument, followed by his mother coming into his room crying. The narration suggests that this is a common occurrence, and the implication could be that Victor's father is abusive to her as well.

No one is gaslighted in this movie, as no one is manipulated by causing them to question their sense of what is real, their grasp on reality, or their sanity. People are invalidated, but there is no gaslighting.

People drink alcohol and smoke tobacco. At one point a character is given laudenum ( a mix of opium and alcohol which was used as medicine in the period the film was set in) as a painkiller, and it's only ever used that way.

1:32 a deer is shot. The scene is done in a few seconds.
From roughly 1:40 to 1:42 sheeps are killed by wolves and wolves are shot by humans. Lots of dying and wounded CGI animals. Audio does not help either.
From 1:52 to 1:53 and something wolves killed in a very violent way by the creature.

After Victor’s conversation with Elizabeth at the dinner table, the next scene has a man coughing up blood. You see it coming, and it’s safe to look after you hear another man call for help.
When the Creature washes up on shore, he coughs up water. I’m unsure if it was visible, but might be triggering to some!

Lightning flashes recur after Victor states “it is finished” in the laboratory. The lightning storm intensifies throughout the sequence leading to the Creature’s birth, the flashing is strobe-like especially when Victor’s climbing the tower.
Lightning returns later once Elizabeth and William stay the night. Quite intense here when Victor confronts the creature.
Several scenes with lots of flames / explosive flashes. Netflix logo at very start features flashes of electricity.

Sort of - Viktor refers to the Creature as an 'it' while Elizabeth uses he/him pronouns, and other characters take issue with this.

Although not ableism per se, a character with limited mental capacity is kept chained in a cellar and is verbally and physically abused by their caretaker.

'Frankenstein' deals extremely heavily with religious guilt and existential fear, to the point where a character has nightmares about a religious figure.

No, but there is an instance where Frankenstein looks at the angel statue 'coming alive' and being described as an Angel of Death while there are flames behind it which could be seen as Hellish imagery.

By one of the characters, but not by the film itself. On of the characters (among other things) is a sort of playboy. There is a brief scene with his lover which establishes this without showing him treating her as an object, but other elements of the film build up to show that he does see women that way. At one point, he offers to "give" another man his female relative (to whom this other man is clearly attracted), in exchange for getting what he wants. This is despite knowing that she is engaged to someone else and without any idea of her feelings on the matter. From context, it seems that he had already pushed her into an engagement she felt trapped in for his own ends. He is constantly stroking the tip of his cane, which is a naked woman carved in ivory; symbolically, I would say this builds up the idea that he treats women as sexual trophies and playthings.

For those familiar with the book - in this version Elizabeth is not related to Viktor or William, adopted or otherwise.

A man is distressed by physical and verbal abuse and the abuser (also male) comments on this and ridicules it, but it's not gendered.

Beggars and homeless people are shown throughout, and implied to have their corpses stolen for research.
The creature is also homeless throughout the story.

Depends on how you interpret it. It has a more hopeful ending than the book, but it's hard to say it's happy.

There are no cars in this movie, characters ride in horse drawn carriages and they do not crash.

I can’t provide timestamps but I can give scenes where they happen.
- the jaw is torn off and the wolf is scalped in the fight in the cottage
- someone’s face is punched in and someone else is thrown into a fire in the first action scene. They’re brief and small on the screen.
- the war victim is shown when Victor searches the battlefield for specimens
- the disemboweled sheep are pretty well prefaced, they come right after the first wolf attack
- the construction scene for the Creature is also well prefaced. The music and sound effects are clear throughout the scene, and when they end, there isn’t any more carving up of bodies.
- the blood is strewn across many scenes. Victor’s lab is piled with body parts and covered with blood for a while. The Creature beats people up in a few scenes, making them bleed, and is frequently shot and stabbed. Timestamping the presence of blood and wounds would be a long list.

A character falls through cracked ice and also into deep water, but emerges unscathed both times. Other characters speculate that they have drowned.
