Elvis is shown to be addicted to both the drugs and the fame. He is constantly taking pills and the narrator even says he turned to drugs to hide his pain.
It is also implied he is addicted to the fame he has gotten

Elvis, who famously died of overdose, uses many drugs in the movie. You never see the actual drugs, (except one time where you see a small white pill handed to him) you simply see him take pills. There are also implications he is being injected with drugs but again, you never see them actually being injected into him

Not mutilation but graphic eye zoom ins for perspective. Can be triggering to those eye sensitive. Camera zooming in to the characters eye (beginning of movie to —) to relay memories, can see inside the eye, etc. Potentially disturbing depending on the sensitivity to viewer.

Well, it's a little creepy if you think that Elvis was so young when his dance moves are criticized for its "sexual depravity" by older men. Also, he is shown kissing his future wife, who was 14 years old at the time. He is also show watching a kind of brothel as an child, while couples are basically in fore play.

Not explicitly and not on screen but it is somewhat implied. The film tells us Elvis died of heart failure and suggests that his drug usage could have been the cause

Elvis’s mother dies due to heart failure, most likely caused by her alcoholism. You see Elvis and his father crying and mourning her loss in front of paparazzi

Elvis’ manager comes from a carnival background, so there’s lots of clowns early in the movie. He also carries a cane that has a clown knob on the top.

The movie takes place during segregation so many scenes are about that divide.
There is one scene where it shows an angry white man screaming hate towards black people and promoting segregation while in front of 3 confederate flags

The movie uses the word Negro often as was the case in the time period. It is rarely used as a negative term, however. The words colored are also used to describe black people.
In one scene, a Segregation rally is held where they use derogatory language about black people while in front of the Rebel flag

Tom Hanks plays a character that is older and heavier than he is in real life so he's in very realistic special effects makeup that includes a fat suit. It's never acknowledged or used as a joke that he's in one though.

Elvis died at the end, and the end is somber as he performs for the last time and his manager is taken off of life support.
However It does say some good things in words before the credits roll, and we know that the impact Elvis had on the world is still felt today. So even though the ending is not fun, it isn’t necessarily all bad

Martin Luther King Jr is shot during the movie. It isn’t shown however you hear a loud gunshot and they describe the event in a news broadcast.
Similarly, Bobby Kennedy is also shot. Again, this is not shown on screen it is simply a loud gunshot followed by footage of Bobby on the ground
