No, but there are scenes of adults hypnotized in therapy talking about not feeling loved by their parents and custody disagreements are a huge trope in this film

There’s a really potentially triggering scene where a father discovers bruises on his child’s body during a bath after a visit with her mom and another later where he distracts her while he takes poloroids of her bruises to show in court

Scenes of The Brood being violent when kids are present could be particularly triggering to those who experienced bullying as children

A young (prepubescent) girl is shown naked from the waist up. I don't count this as a nude scene but I know some people do.
