They aren't physically abusive but they are always pressuring their son into performing for others to keep up appearances. There is another family where the mother actively attempts to sabotage her daughter's relationship and lies about her boyfriend being a rapist.

It’s extremely creepy, moreso than the standard romcom creepfest. She’s even clear about being creeped out but the narrative continues to try to push it as romantic. Urgh.

Main character becomes kind of a dick after being groomed by Mrs Robinson. He gets better.
It's also somewhat implied Mr. Robinson did not treat Mrs. Robinson well and that the marriage was forced due to a pregnancy.

Chain smoking as expected in the 60s, and two characters are definitely alcoholics.

It can definitely be considered grooming as she knew Ben ever since he was a baby.

The plot of the movie revolves around a manipulative and emotionally abusive sexual relationship. In re: the age comment, the lead is 21 years old.

There is a quite claustrophobic underwater scene where it feels like any minute the protagonist (in a diver suit) will stop breathing or the suit will malfunction, which doesn’t happen. Extremely claustrophobic scene though

There are a few instances with spitting. Not graphic, but you do hear it briefly.

The main character seems to have anxiety attacks in the beginning of the film, about not knowing what to do in the future, not liking attention from all the guests his father is inviting and showing him off to

Main character is pushed underwater and kept there, they're in a suba suit thing, but the view is from the character's eyes, underwater. it does have a claustrophobic feeling to it.

The two main characters presumably might end up that way immediately after the ending as they ran away without any money or support from their parents.

Bittersweet. Two young people torpedo their lives to be together, and their future is uncertain as they now have nowhere to go.
