There is a mention of animal abuse (specifically of a cat), but it is not shown on screen, nor is it done by any of the protagonists.

Yes, one character on the first part of the movie jumps through a window.
The director himself committed suicide right after the editing of the movie, giving An Elephant sitting still an aura of a cinematographic suicide letter. Don't watch it if suicide is upsetting for you. And RIP Hu Bo.
