[No], but "17" (told, maybe less) rabbits are held in three cages. In 4+ scenes the rabbits are seen outside the cages, always inside the queens bed room.

I want to reply to the rabbit comment. Emma Stone's character squishes a bunny with her shoe, but the bunny does not die. He hops off, a bit shaken at first, but ultimately ok. Birds are shot and killed as target practice. Someone tosses the birds into the air and Emma Stone and Rachel Weiss shoot at them.

Emma Stone's character attempts to squash a bunny under her shoe, does not kill the rabbit however. there is an awful squealing emitted from the bunny which is disturbing.

There is a dog picking up a dead bird and taking it to its handler, but it is just on the background and happens very briefly. There is no blood or struggle, but the thought might make a viewer upset.

There are two or three scenes when characters are shooting birds mid-air. The birds do not struggle and there is no blood shown, there are not close ups of their bodies.

The rabbit is pushed down hard enough (for a couple of seconds) to make it squeal, but not hard enough that it sustains injuries. It moves on looking fine. It happens in a scene where the queen is in bed, and Abigail is sitting near a window, doing her own thing.

But there are characters in period typical heavy makeup: white face, bright makeup, big wigs; that can have a similar effect on someone who's really freaked out by clowns.

1). First instance, you can see it coming. The Queen is eating cake and a servant runs up with a bowl to catch her vomit.
2). Second instance, Rachel Weisz's character has been poisoned and she is on a horse running away from the estate, she slows down, and there you go. You can anticipate this one as well.
3). Third instance, not long after the second, Rachel Weisz's character wakes up and instantly throws up. This one surprised me, so watch out.
4). Emma Stone's character announces she's not feeling well (after a night of drinking) and staggers for a while and throws up in a vase. You can see this one coming.

I don't see anyone in the movie as mentally ill, but someone is terribly burdened by her strong and complicated emotions, which sometimes causes her a bit of confusion.

Rifles are shot as sport, and people don't shoot at each other, but they are passive-agressively hinting at it.
