no, but in one scene ruben destroys his records in a fit of anger while his girlfriend begs him to stop. not domestic violence within the context of the film (he never hurts her or intends to hurt her), but may still be triggering

The main character shaves his head with an electric razor and his girlfriend is shown to have scars from cutting. She is seen scratching as a form of self-harm on-screen and later it's mentioned.

the main character yells/shouts/hits the table/wall suddenly especially in one scene when he is in a room by himself with a pen and paper. Not a proper jumpscare but it still made me jump.

A woman has cutting scars on her arm. They are faded, but very visible. She also scratches herself as a form of self-harm on screen, and later it is mentioned that she had stopped.

The movie simulates loss of hearing so there are high pitched and otherwise unpleasant noises throughout.

Those exact words aren't used, but when he's upset Ruben repeatedly (and seriously) says "what I need is a gun in my mouth" or something similar, so proceed with caution.

During the concert scene after his doctor’s appointment, the main character has what can be interpreted as a panic attack and runs outside. A little later on, in the RV he has what is more like a fit of rage but he is still upset and this could be distressing. Neither scenes are very long, the second is definitely more intense. Described well in the domestic violence section

A character says "back to our gypsy lifestyle" towards the end of the film in reference to living out of an RV and traveling for shows. Beyond the usage of the slur, the connotations are very offensive. I'm ethnically Romani and I was upset by it.

Two characters discuss the drawing of a naked woman in a sexual way but only briefly. We see two characters lying in bed together a couple of times sleeping etc, no nudity.
