The whole movie Baby Jane psycologically tortures her paraplegic sister Blanche. Ranges from gaslighting,
to starving her, to beating her within an inch of her life and tying her to her bed.

Baby Jane references her deceased father a few times. A song she sings is about writing a letter to her father in heaven, (he's still alive when she sings it as a kid).

I think the cops are considered good guys, but they don't hold a heavy presence, and pretty much anyone outside of the house would be a good guy in the scenario.

No,no one has an eating disorder in the movie. I just want to put this out here simply because when I watched it it was triggering for me,mainly Blanche.
***SPOILERS*** So no,no one has an eating disorder. But throughout the movie you’ll see a couple times Blanche has a common theme of asking for food. Once she said something about starving,and that was while she was tied up. It bothered me so I thought I would tell others.

I don't think so, but the movie does deal heavily with being trapped in a room, as well as the inability to move. Room is spacious, however.

The character Edwin is quite large, and is shown eating lots of food and quickly whenever it's available to him. I don't know if this is meant to be comedic or not, but worth noting.

A family is watching TV and a couple is kissing. That’s the only sexual content I can think of in this film.
