There are scenes where the parents aren't acting like their normal selves and they are mean to their kids, mainly verbal. Closer to the end though the father hits his daughter while in a altered state of mind, distressed and drunk, he snaps out of it after he hits her and is remorseful.

A man gets drunk and in this state of mind beats a pregnant woman. She's slapped twice and then punched, dropping to the ground unconscious. This apparently sobers up the man.

Yes, but it's totally offscreen. We only see characters reacting to the body. It is also visually depicted in a simplistic (non-scary, childish) drawing by another character later in the movie.

It's hard to discern if it's excessive or tame, so if you're really concerned, I'll help you decide.
[VAGUE SPOILERS FOR DESCRIPTION OF ALL DEATHS IN THE MOVIE]
I will not be naming the characters or detailing how they obtained their injuries. It won't ruin the movie either. I promise.
In order of appearance:
- We see one very brief closeup of vague "gore" on an infant. Literally looks like nothing. It's evoking gore more than showing it.
- We see character/s looking down at a body but we aren't shown it. We do see one of them pick up a severed ear that is attached to something else. The body is later described and visually shown in a cartoon drawing (non-graphic, literally stick figure).
- We see a character have their lip tear off. It's not convincing but it is graphic.
- We see the arm of someone who has been burned alive sticking up in the air as character/s look down at it. Nothing else is shown of the body.
- A character is shot by a gun in one of their extremities. We see the medium-sized wound being given first aid.
- The most graphic is a character who has their brain exposed in a severe injury. They happily play with it and they soon die. The way they react is more disturbing than the gore, in my opinion.
- The (dead) body of the previous character is accidentally shot. We briefly see new blood splatter on their face but no new injuries are visible.
- A character walks into barbed wire. It makes light contact with their temple. Small injury, it's very nonchalant.
- We see a character's face become covered with blood by an offscreen body above them. We do not see the body, just the blood raining down from it.

YES. An ear is amputated and shown onscreen. The rest of the body is also dismembered but it's offscreen and we only hear about it and see a childish drawing of the body.

The entire plot is revolved around their reality not making sense. The road they are driving on goes on forever when it should have ended ages ago.
- spoliers -
People die and it doesn't make sense how, and while their dead body is on the ground you see them in the back of a hearse trying to get out as it drives away. People appear and disappear. Everyone is very distressed because of this.

One character harasses a man about his sexuality, insisting that he's secretly gay. He is not, but the attitudes and reactions from other characters may be uncomfortable for viewers.
