One scene of people jumping into a river (Oxford May-Day celebrations) but no one drowns and it's clearly framed as non-suicidal.

There is a scene of a man tearing up, and another scene right at the end of a man and a boy both crying, but they are both shown in a sympathetic light.

There are a large number of hospital scenes in the second half of the film that are depicted as period-appropriate for a film set in the 1950s. In particular there are two scenes of a character undergoing an X-ray that may be unsettling.
