The main plot of the movie is about a character being lied to and gaslit by someone she had a brief sexual relationship with. She is also manipulated and lied to by a large organization of evil hackers, who arrange circumstances so that everyone around her refuses to believe her.

It's unclear whether the man using drugs had a medicinal purpose (claimed to be antihistamines) or if he was being sarcastic. Either way, this info is used against him.

A woman has a one night stand with a man with consent, but later it is revealed that the man was stalking her, and it can make viewers uncomfortable with the previous scenes. Also a moment where said man grabs/pins woman to wall after it is revealed he was stalking her.

Not in a traditional sense. You could argue that someone is in an abstract way.

Several intentionally disorienting scenes are shown. I don't even have sensitivity to shakey cam but it was still so much I had to stop watching and reorient myself.

Scene takes place at Carnival and has a carousel scene with flashing lights. Consistent scenes of derealization/shaky camera to show disorientation. There's a disorienting scene every ten minutes of the film.

Someone is in a situation where it looks like she is about to drown, but it quickly goes to the next scene where the character is on dry land and alive.
