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.

In a way, yes. A teen is grabbed by the hair by her boyfriend, yelled at, and gaslit.

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).

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.

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

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.
