A fairly creepy scene in the middle of the movie depicts a closet filled with food and infested with bugs.

A little over halfway (?) through the movie, after Hannah takes garbage to the dumpster she opens the bag and eats a bunch of sweets/baked goods out of the garbage bag. She takes the sweets and goes into her car and eats them. The eating scene is pretty long. I wasn’t fully watching this but I believe there is no vomit until she exits the car and they show her walking but I’m not 100% so be careful during this whole scene. Once she walks away from the car, Im assuming there is full visual and audio but I didn’t actually watch or listen. We remain in this scene still for a good amount of time at least a minute but I don’t know how much of that time there is actual vomit being shown/happening because I only continued watching/listening once I saw the scene change to the next morning. LATER in the movie her mom is shown walking into her room when Hannah isn’t there, while she’s walking the mom gags once (not super triggering imo) then as she approached the closet and after she opens the closet she gags 1-2 more times (I had it muted so idk how triggering) but no vomit during this scene.

Yes, but it's fairly minor and only depicted for roughly 10 seconds during a dreaming scene.
