There is blood but minimal gore and I'm very sensitive to it. See the animal triggers section.
A very dead body is shown without its head. Not gory but worth noting.

Not specifically.
However some of the ways that the Chamberlains express themselves and their grief is taken as atypical/possibly comes across as neurodivergent and there is *a lot* of talk and gossip by "the public" and media and others about how they're behaving that I think could be triggering as a neurodivergent person.

It is suspected that Azaria, an infant, was decapitated. This is discussed in some detail as either being done by a wild dog or by a person.
A babydoll is shown decapitated and bloody
A body is found in the desert, its head is gone having been eaten by dingos

Most of the movie is centered around the guilt or innocence of a family in the death of their infant daughter. They are accused of murdering their baby Azaria and and many lies are told about them.
It's not 100% gaslighting, but it's pretty close.
This is a stretch, but there is a lot of pseudoscience presented during the trial. It's not gaslighting but I'm not sure where else to note it. It's upsetting.

The Chamberlains are Seventh Day Adventists and this is used to discredit them, harass them, insult them, etc.
It isn't really directly addressed, but is not portrayed as right or positive.

The whole movie is centered around the death of an infant who is discussed throughout. While we only see her in a few scenes at the beginning, she's definitely a major character.

Azaria's parents and living children struggle with the aftermath of Azaria's death. It's very raw.
Her father in particular is shown having very strong post-trauma reactions.

The family is aggressively harassed by the media and by people who think they're responsible for Azaria's death. Could be seen as stalking.
