A lot of lying all throughout the film, when anyone picks up on inconsistencies, it's responded to with more lies. Many different characters get lied to and gaslit.

The protagonist drinks a lot of wine during the shiva after she becomes stressed, but we don’t have any indication she does this normally.

Not explicit, but many characters talk about the main character's weight and speculate that she's anorexic. We then see her put food back on the table from her plate. Later on, she appears to be stress-eating.

There aren't fat jokes, but there are some "too skinny" jokes. There's also a LOT of weight loss/disordered eating/you should eat kind of content.

No but near the end an older lady drives off when it is said she has an expired license and shouldn’t. You hear the tires squeal briefly and hear a horn honking as if she is causing problems on the road.
