No abuse happens on screen, although it is referenced as part of period-typical horrors of war and circumstances experienced by the Guernsey folk in wartime

No, but there’s period-appropriate controlling behavior (I should have never let you out of my sight) that may be triggering.

Juliet is engaged to Markham for most of the movie but over the course of her time on Guernsey she visibly falls for Dawsey. This is never acted on until she leaves Markham.

There’s a moment near the beginning where Juliet and Sidney are looking at a flat and she has a sudden flashback - it’s unexpected and could be startling for the gentle soul :)

I don’t know why someone voted yes to this. A woman goes into labor and loses her baby, then dies. There are no abortions.

Sort of? There’s a scene in which Dawsey tells Juliet what he pictured her to be like when they were writing, it’s a little weird but not the worst

The movie is about WWII so period-typical trigger warning regarding mention of concentration camps and such. Swastikas & Nazis shown in flashbacks as part of what the characters are processing and sharing
