ReportSynopsis
Brian Cox stars as Jacques, the curmudgeonly owner of a gritty New York dive bar that serves as home to a motley assortment of professional drinkers. Jacques is determinedly drinking and smoking himself to death when he meets Lucas (Dano), a homeless young man who has already given up on life. Determined to keep his legacy alive, Jacques deems Lucas is a fitting heir and takes him under his wing, schooling him in the male-centric laws of his alcoholic clubhouse: no new customers, no fraternizing with customers and, absolutely no women. Lucas is a quick study, but their friendship is put to the test when the distraught and beautiful April (Isild Le Besco) shows up at the bar seeking shelter, and Lucas insists they help her out.

After Lucas gives out money to some homeless people, the film cuts to a scene of a dead kitten strung up in Lucas' makeshift home.
There are also multiple scenes where characters discuss killing a duck, as well as scenes of it being potentially in peril. But no harm ever befalls said duck.

Yes. (SPOILER) Lucas is hit by a car at the end of the movie when chasing after a duck. There is a scene of him lying on the ground bleeding out, and one more scene in the hospital hooked up to machines.
