the first sex scene between Callie and Harley could definitely be seen as rape, even though Harley himself seems pretty out of it. essentially he shows up at her place out of breath and confused and they're outside in the dirt when he starts grabbing at her then he thrusts maybe a few times before he starts crying. she says it's ok but the whole scene is very jarring.
the second scene is also jarring in that he shows up at her house and is very pushy then they have sex on her dining room table while her son is outside playing despite her trying to get him to leave

Abuse is a theme throughout the movie. Mentions of sexual abuse, physical abuse (with the main character threatening abuse toward his sisters), and discussions of physical and sexual abuse in the context of the main characters therapy sessions. Also discussions/allusions of the main character and his sister Amber having a sexual relationship—with the character having a realization that his sister Amber came into his room at night and touched him when they were younger.

The main character Harlan drinks a lot. It’s a theme throughout though he drinks less as the movie progresses.
