They're not verbally or physically violent, but Arnie's parents limit his actions, emotions and interests at the start of the movie, at a time he wasn't doing something worthy of punishment (aside from imprudent choices).

Not physical but Arnie's parents are very restrictive. The only time Arnie's father gets physical is when he shoves Arnie against a wall for insulting his mother.

Not really, but the main character's relationship with his car is reminiscent of addiction.

We don't see it, but someone is "cut in half" against a wall by the front end of a car. We're told that the person's legs were severed completely.

Someone says to a close friend who's just called himself ugly: "You're not ugly. Queer, maybe, but not ugly". Whether the word is used in the meaning "odd" or "homosexual" is not clear. I believe it's the former. If it's the latter, it's at least said in an goodnaturedly teasing way between very good friends, and no offense is taken. By the way, the person it's said to isn't gay, and the friend knows that.

I'm not sure what constitutes hate speech. Male characters talk about women disparagingly, objectifying them.

Could've been worse, considering what happens to people off-screen or outside the frame. I wouldn't call the movie gory, but there is blood.
