Neither of these comments are accurate. Malcolm does not know the truth about Brahms and is not attempting to deceive Greta about it, he actually believes that she is sleepwalking and moving the doll unconsciously. Gaslighting requires malicious and conscious intent to make a feel person feel unstable and unfit which is not what he is doing.

this one really depends on how deeply you want to interpret the movie. the main antagonist was isolated and locked away by his parents and proceeds to become an abuser as a response.

Greta starts to believe the doll is alive or possessed and locks herself in her room. She hears footsteps, a child giggling and someone calling her name in a childlike fashion and starts crying and hyperventilating.

There are no homophobic slurs, but there is transphobia. ::SPOILER:: A character tells another one to watch out because a man will stand over her at night, wearing her dress, with lipstick on, and asking to go by a woman's name ... think like "Psycho" level transphobia
