The scenes aren’t explicit in nudity and poorly filmed, but there are multiple depictions of rape on screen.

Not gore, but the audio quality is shocking. Flips between being too quiet and too loud. Quite jarring.

No explicit fourth wall breaking. Actors look into the camera quite often, but that’s more due to poor acting.
