Ophelia is gaslighted by Hamlet, but it is not a main focus of this film.

Definitely. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern first realise that something is wrong when every coin they flip lands on heads. Later, they don’t quite realise they’re in a play but they know something wrong with reality. It escalates towards the end, with multiple characters being played by the same actor
