It is discussed that a restraining order had to be filed against Amy's old boyfriend because he was obsessed with her, but none of this is directly shown on screen.

The main female character fakes domestic abuse (involving a fake murder) from her husband to punish him, which is very triggering for victims who are often called liars in real life.

Yes. There's a vaginal self mutilation scene for literally no reason and Nick gets handsy with multiple women.

Spoiler: The antagonist gaslights her husband profusely, as well as writing a fake diary, and faking her own murder, to frame him as the abuser.

Amy was likely mentally/emotionally abused as a child, as it seems like her parents had unrealistically high expectations for her. However she’s an adult and there’s no childhood flashbacks or anything like that.

Halfway through the film there is the plot of the main female character faking rape to go after a minor male character, which can be triggering for actual victims since women are often accused of faking assault.

Semi-spoiler: No actual on-screen rape, but a character stages things such that they can pass as a rape victim upon assessment. These tactics are shown and part of it is quite graphic. There's also another person that tells a story of being similarly set up by the same character in the past.

We never really find out why the antagonist (who kills someone) is the way she is. However, she clearly lacks empathy and wants to be in control, while maintaining a positive image for herself. So it’s possible that she has ASPD and/or is a narcissist.

Horrific flashing through out.

My husband had several seizures but he powered through lol There's a paparazzi flashing every other scene. If it's night time, assume it's flashing. Between police lights and paparazzi it's horrible.

Please stop saying "no" to flashing if you aren't sure. It's the one trigger on here that can kill someone. Please be careful about being so confidently wrong.
