About 58 minutes in a bunch of trained chimps run around—they are distressed.

It is said, not shown, that Nomi’s father kills her mother and then kill himself. It’s implied that she had an abusive, traumatic childhood.

Persistent sexual threats to women from scene one. Predatory men throughout. At about the 3/4 point, there is a violent rape scene.

There is an entire, graphic rape scene and there are mentions of this in the hospital scenes following it.

Not explicitly shown. After a rape scene the victim appears beaten up with blood between her thighs.

In a hospital scene, vaginal tearing is mentioned.

It is implied, at the end, that Nomi stabs / uses a switchblade to rob a man.

After a rape scene, a person appears with blood everywhere and tumbles down on the floor, the next second we see her at the hospital with bruises all over her face.

One person's face is badly beaten, and another is kicked in the mouth, both with bloody results.

Yes, pushed by somebody else. The falling is shown on screen. The person who fell is badly hurt.

There isn’t just a brief mention of a parent dying. It’s outwardly stated that a father commits a murder-suicide on his wife.

It is stated that Nomi’s father commits a murder-suicide, killing her mother and then killing himself. Nothing is on screen.

Nomi gets arrested after she starts a fight in a club. She gets bailed out. Later on, it’s mentioned that she’s been arrested and jailed several times for other offenses in the past.

But the panoply of porn-perfect bodies might induce it.

Not shown but some dialogue might be triggering to some.

A dance instructor tells the main character to maintain her weight and to only eat brown rice and vegetables. Later when the main character asks for a cheeseburger and fries the dance instructor orders her brown rice and vegetables instead.

OTT misogynists spouting outrageously sexist one-liners are all part of Nomi's welcome to showbiz. It can be seen as satiric, but also as callously triggering.

A Vegas strip club emcee (and former showgirl) makes fat jokes about herself both onstage and off.

Yes all along the film women are objectified, it peaks at times with huge power & psychological pressure (always on women and often triggering) and also the rape scene where the woman is completely objectified by the agressors.

The character Henry appears to be wearing a fat suit in which her breasts pop out as a strip club dress gag.

Technically the main character is at the beginning and end of the film but it is not seen as important and she finds a home right away.
