Voting yes only on the basis that Joan of Arc is a character in the movie & is referenced a fair amount. No explicit mentions of religion, however.

No hangings, or other strangulation. One weirdly shot background event has a person hanging in a tree with only their legs showing, evoking common hanging imagery, but they are in fact fine.

Nobody vomits in the movie. Closes I can think of is when a character eats a huge amount of ice cream in a messy way.

Per the long form of the question, the issue is whether the movie "blurs the distinction between reality and dream or altered states". It does not.

The main characters travel through time in a phone booth (of the non-TARDIS kind), and given the amount of people they pick up, they must be standing very close at the end.

A character is shown eating a massive amount of ice cream so if binge eating bothers you mb avoid the ice cream scene (you can see it coming)

The depiction of Genghis Khan leans heavily on stereotypes, and he's depicted as animalistic (in comparison to, for instance, Socrates, whose inability to speak English is never suggested to make him less rational).

There is one instance of the f slur: while not said to an explicitly gay character, it is said by the main characters (simultaneously) to demean each other for their more vulnerable emotions. Neither seem to take offense, and the moment passes quickly.
