Not shown, but described by the main character. Skip the conversation between the main character and Maurice from 30:38 to 32:40 to avoid listening to it.

it looks as if a fox is dead at 50:40 but it is shown alive seconds later. playing dead is a recurring theme in this movie hence the name

There is a scene that isn't technically rape but feels just as horrible and may be heavily triggering.

The climax of the film includes a character’s neck being snapped. It’s the focus of that moment in the scene and you clearly hear it happen. I’m very confused by the no votes on this one.

Someone's PTSD is manipulated. It isn't intended to be ableist (cruel, but not specifically ableist) which does trigger symptoms.

While there is no consensual sexual content the way this is probably referring to, there are explicit references to children being assaulted and *SPOILER* a man is assaulted near the end of the film. There is no nudity depicted, but the language is explicit.
