Taxidermied animals. Deer, fox, birds, maybe others.

No, but there is one scene in which a grown man suddenly slaps and verbally abuses another grown man who lives on the first man's property and is more or less financially dependent on him. I imagine that this scene - and the whole power dynamic between the two men - might be triggering to victims of domestic violence.

I don't perceive it as gaslighting. Psychological/emotional manipulation, yes, but not gaslighting. The "victim" doesn't seem to doubt his own sanity, judgement or perception of reality.

A man does cocaine on-screen, then all but pressures another man into trying it for the first time. "Come on; it's only cocaine. It won't kill you.". The second man is reluctant and seemingly uncomfortable with the situation, but gives in.

in a fit of passion, a character releases many horses into the wild that were bred and trained as show horses. this is portrayed ambiguously, as it seems heroic in theory, but the character doing it is doing it for selfish and emotional reasons without removing their harnesses, instilling some uncertainty on how the horses will fare in the wild. no horses are ever shown dying or deceased.

taxidermied animals are shown on display, but the act of killing them is not shown. its mentioned more than once that the estate has been used for hunting foxes in the past, but none of the hunts are graphically described or depicted.

There's an organised fox hunt - the fox is released to be hunted - but we don't see the hunt itself, only the fox running across a field, about to be hunted.

No, but there are some unpleasant vibes (grown man towards grown man). More or less subtle, unwelcome physical (and emotional) closeness, but it's not outright sexual.

There are two scenes in which hair is cut with a trimmer. In the first scene, a grown man trims another grown man's hair, and in my perception there was something a bit unpleasant about the scene (power dynamics). In the second scene, a grown man trims his own hair.

No. In one scene, someone falls to the floor behind a couch without previous indication that something is wrong (it turns out to be something like a prank). I'm thinking that the scene may trigger some, especially since there's a moment during which no one knows what's going on with the person, as the couch is blocking their view.

Two parents die. The ageing mother of a grown man dies off-screen without explicit preceding illness (she was in a wheelchair, but didn't appear sick). The son doesn't grieve her much, at least not outwardly. There's no funeral scene. ... SPOILER ----- SPOILER ----- SPOILER ----- SPOILER ----- Later on, the middle-aged father of two small children is shot to death. His wife sees it happen, but not the children. No funeral scene.

Someone bends over a toilet and throws up; we get the sound, and we clearly see the vomit coming out and getting on the person's hand, since he induced it by sticking a finger down his throat.

a character is heabutted near the beginning of the movie and gets a nosebleed as a result. he snorts and then spits blood out of his mouth. throughout the film, characters can occasionally be seen drooling from physical exhaustion or crying.

A man is seen hitting himself several times throughout the movie, and in one scene he smashes his forehead into a mirror hard enough to break the mirror, which leaves shards in his forehead.

upon losing an important match, a character is shown gorging himself with cake to cope with the defeat. he's found by another character and they purge it out of his body by intentionally vomiting into a toilet. then, because the character rapidly gained weight and needs to lose it to qualify for a match, he exercises to the point of extreme exhaustion to burn it all off while sweating heavily.

nothing explicitly sexual is ever mentioned or shown, but a select few wrestling scenes have a subtle but possibly deliberate sexual undertone to them, including close-ups of the mens' strained faces as they grunt and grapple with each other to intentionally uncomfortable effect.

a character is heabutted early in the film and his nose bleeds as a result. blood is seen soaking his shirt, and he snorts and spits out more blood before continuing to wrestle. later, a character bashes his own head into a mirror and a bloody cut can be seen on his forehead. the most graphic scene by far is when a character is shot three times while trying to crawl away, blood trailing behind him in the snow. a scene shortly afterwards shows a wrestler unconscious on the ground with a heavily bloodied face.

Very deliberate, fatal. Reminiscent of drive-by shootings.
