A story about a young boy being attacked is shown. The young boy is shown with his genitals removed, writhing and screaming. Very upsetting.
Later, an extended scene where a cop demands the main character undress. She is crying and covered in blood. Extended scene that is very dehumanizing/triggering.
Helen is restrained in several ways including being handcuffed, pinned down, strapped to a table, and strapped to a chair. These are all done to her in self defense or by a doctor.
towards the end of the movie. a character is shown with her clothing on fire, skin burned and her hair gone. she dies from her injuries. later you see her again with her scalp bald and burned
An event that takes place prior to the events of the movie describe a child's murder. Though the child doesn't die right away, a cop says he was killed.
helen is talking to a boy about an incident involving another child who he calls r-slur. i wouldn’t say its to be mean and more a dated reference to autism
cops are portrayed negatively- even initially “friendly” ones later act rather vicious, and it’s mentioned that they neglected to properly aid black people, only taking action after a white woman is attacked
a character is involuntarily committed to psychiatric institution, scenes of physical restraint/psychological distress and forced sedation, character is surprised to learn they have been committed for a long time. scenes of successful escape from psych ward - fairly long sequence
Helen's whole life falls apart and then there's a montage of her standing by a bridge and looking in the water. I'm p sure she doesn't actually attempt but she definitely thought about it
There is a scene where the main character has an experience that is unexplained. The time of the event was caught on camera surveillance but does not show what the main character is talking about.
there’s a moment where the main characters are speaking to a black woman who says something to the extent of “you think we’re all criminals or do drugs or are gangbangers” because her only experience with white people has been negative.
Helen is forced to strip by police. There's also a scene of her bathing but her parts are mostly obscured by her arms and the water. One of the murder victims is shown completely naked but that scene is brief.
