Do NOT watch this if you're afraid of needles. Forced injections are a major focal point and essential to the plot.

Throughout the movie there is a very repetitive sound of the iron lung working. Not misophonia friendly as (to my knowledge) loud breathing is a no-no

Not exactly, but a character does show suicidal tendencies when he says something along the lines of “why don’t you just kill me” because he doesn’t want to be tortured anymore

This is debatable, but Angelo seems very distraught by his SA that occurred when he was a child so that makes me vote yes. I mean he is basically doing a bunch of horrible things to cope

Two queer characters die.
Also, adressing the other comment— just because a person commits atrocities does not mean they can't be queer. That is not how sexuality works. Any human being is capable of doing harm to others.
