Romeo + Juliet
Movie • 1996 • Romance
ReportSynopsis
In director Baz Luhrmann's contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.

one of the love interests was played by a minor (~17) and the other wasn’t. canonically, both characters are minors. it’s implied they have sex.

The Capulet matriarch slaps his nephew in one scene and is rough and domineering with Juliet in another’s throwing her to the floor. We are not lead to believe this is a pattern of behaviour.

not held underwater but there are scenes where characters are underwater (for example someone hides underwater, running out of air) and could be triggering since they look distressed

There is one scene underwater where Romeo is holding his breath and is running out a bit, but he is able to breathe soon and its not for long or intense.

Romeo and Juliet are young teens and they both die. This could still be considered by some as a kid dying.

I was nervous about the poison scene incase there was any coughing or gagging.
There is none! He grunts a bit but nothing like coughing gagging etc.

Juliet threatens to kill herself in one scene in front of a sympathetic friar if he cannot help her escape an arranged marriage. She goes as far as brandishing a pistol and pointing it to her head to illustrate how serious she is.

The Capulet party scene does have some strobing lights, as does the preamble scene.

There are underwater scenes where people hold their breath. At one point someone dies, then falls into water. However, nobody drowns.

Yes, given that this is a modern interpretation of the classic Shakespeare in a modern (for the 1990s) setting. As such, "swords" and "daggers" are referenced, but they are now guns of varying calibers and sizes.
