Not very upsetting. As a child, Guy Maddin (director of this quasi-autobiographical film) had a chihuahua that lived to be 11. In voiceover, he mentions that the dog is long dead now. The dog appears in reenactments of scenes from Maddin's childhood, but we don't see him die or learn how he died.

The film recounts a (possibly fictional) event where some horses drowned and froze in the Red River. This is depicted through a brief animation with the horses as silhouettes. The frozen-solid horse heads remain visible, sticking out of the ice, and become an attraction for locals. The horse heads aren't very realistic-looking.

Maddin's narrative voiceover recounts that his mother has always been terrified of birds, and mentions a time when a pet myna bird settled on her shoulder and she knocked it to the ground, killing it. Also, the daughter tells her mother about hitting a deer with her car, and we see blood and fur on the car.

It's mentioned that Guy Maddin's brother Cameron died at sixteen, but we don't see this happen in the film.

Maddin's father's death doesn't happen onscreen, but is an important factor in the film.

Shakey-cam in some scenes - black and white archival footage, 1960s home movies, and scenes imitating older filmmaking styles
