A character drinks out of a bucket of what appears to be vomit or dirty water in a hospital out of desperation. It happens pretty early on in the hospital scene. If you are very sensitive I’d look away for a few seconds. I didn’t get too triggered by that but I understand it may be enough to trigger others. Other than that the movie is safe.

Someone is starving because they have no food, but there's no portrayal of eating disorders. Only famine.
