I think the yes votes are because Brian finds Neil's house and becomes obsessed with meeting him? But it's not with malicious intent

The movie’s whole plot involves child sexual abuse. The abuse is described in excruciating detail, and a lot of grooming is shown on screen. The coach is seen kissing the child from the child’s POV. The aftermath and symptoms of childhood trauma is shown constantly throughout. Young 18 year olds are preyed upon by much older people also.

The main characters are victims of CSA. Pedophilia is a major theme so I don't recommend watching if it's a trigger for you

One of the male protagonists is a sex worker and gets raped by a male client. It's a disturbing and intense scene. Besides the rape itself, he gets verbally abused and also beaten with a bottle on the head. Very disturbing scene.

Sexual assault on children is also shown. If it helps, the director of the film filmed the children always apart from the adult so they didn't know what they were really filming. Only in post-production and editing, does the director make it look like they share a scene.

sort of. a character reaches into the remains of a cow- it isn't bloody, but it is rather graphic. characters are shown bloodied at several points.

Whole movie deals with CSA and the traumatic aftermath of it. Children are sexually objectified and groomed by their coach. He also films them, clearly with the intention to use it as certain material afterward.

No, but one protagonist believes he got kidnapped by aliens when he was younger. We see some "flashbacks" where we see him as a child being strapped to a table while aliens loom over him.

In addition to the assault scene and the off screen child sexual abuse, the main character who is a sex worker performs oral sex on men and has oral sex performed on him.

The ending is dark, but the main character realizes he shares trauma with the other main character and is comforted.
