A very messed up kid sets a canvas bag on fire that has a struggling dog in it. The dog dies and the scene is super traumatic, and at the end of it you see the partially burned bag and a tiny flash of the charred remains. There’s flashbacks to it throughout the movie.

the act is not explicitly shown but in most versions of the film there are multiple scenes that set up a heavy implication of sexual assault happening.

Big plot point in the movie. Kayleigh's dad is a pedophile that makes Evan and Kayleigh undress in a basement and tells them to "Do what grown ups do" in front of a camera as he drinks and smokes.

Around 27:15, the exterior shot of the bar, there is a guy sitting on the curb looking unwell and he either spits a bit or is a little sick. It was unexpected and a bit triggering, so look away briefly right when it cuts to the bar.
The second incident is brief, visual and audio though, but it's more the coughing up liquid type. You see it briefly then he leans over the bed and coughs more.

(SPOILERS) Evan goes back in time and slams his hands onto two metal sticks (I honestly dont really know what they are) to get the scars to prove that "jesus speaks to him in his dreams"

a slur is said by the protagonist when trying to "befriend" a nazi. a swastika is briefly shown twice but connected to this nazi character, who is depicted as evil.

multiple mentions of incestuous abuse, all portrayed in a bad light. victim is younger than seven and perpetrator is an adult. it is an important plot point that can make viewers very uncomfortable.

Not really relationships but there is much inference to incestuous acts and also comments of incestuous nature.
