Some of the drug scenes are extremely graphic, especially in their depiction of the use of needles.

I would count the bashing with the piano lid as torture, as well as the human immolation, although brief.

Film shows the graphic effects of drug use, including overdoses. At around an hour and a half in, there's a montage of users/dead bodies, one of which has visible vomit dried around the mouth. It's a disturbing scene that includes a crying baby next to the dead body, so could be very triggering for some.
