A young girl references being assaulted by her father or another relative in voiceover. Not graphic, especially since some of the audio is masked by sound design, but possibly distressing.
A mother holds a handgun to the back of a little boy's head while he's lifting weights.
Two teenage boys hunt stray cats for money throughout but only one killing is seen at the very start where one is briefly drowned. Though this is distressing, no actual violence towards cats occurred on set. There are references in dialogue to more gruesome ways of killing cats and sight of several dead cats, including two boys whipping a dead cat.
The script implies heavily that a disabled woman is being pimped by a relative.
There is very brief but somewhat bloody sight of the aftermath of self-harm in a montage, as the word "SLAYER" is seen cut into a person's arm.
There is some footage shown of a destructive tornado. A large animal (possibly a cow) is shown falling from a rooftop to the ground, dead. This is supposedly actual footage.
Two boys shoot at another boy with BB guns.
Two brothers have a fistfight. It's only mildly violent and it is done in a playful manner since it clearly isn't serious.
Though some of the violence may sound very graphic not much of it actually is. The scenes concerning cats being hurt are nowhere near as violent as they sound.
