Early on, there's an extremely violent scene during which Michael Douglas's character Nick assaults his ex-girlfriend and colleague, Dr. Beth Gardner. She repeatedly says no as it continues. It is very graphic.

The murders of children are not depicted in the film, only talked about. There is a brief moment during which a crime scene photo of a dead child is shown. It is very fast and does not appear immediately graphic.

Sharon Stone's character, Catherine, does not appear to espouse monogamy, but at least two of her partners seem to have issues with the arrangement, and they have lethal conflict as a consequence. Cheating is also discussed as something at least three characters have done in the past.

Yes, ableist language is used constantly throughout the film, and the movie relies on ableist assumptions by the characters to move the plot forward, likewise the film also relies on the audience to make similar assumptions.
