There is a mention of a father who physically abuses his daughter when she does not pray, but it is never shown. There is one scene where the main character's child sets a fire inside a house and his father silently chases after him and picks him up aggressively. (SPOILERS) There is a scene in the middle fo the film where the main character abandons his son on a train.

There are many mining accidents shown. They most often happen after equipment falls on a worker. The miner's bodies are sometimes shown.

At the start of the film, the main character is descending a ladder when it breaks and he falls to the bottom of a mine where he injures his legs. There are several other moments where people are struck on the head with mining equipment and it is likely their skulls are injured.

At several points during the film, the interiors of mining shafts are shown, they are small and muddy/oily, and the workers must work in the small space while avoiding heavy equipment.

At the end of the film, the main character's deaf son returns to his adoptive father trying to reconcile, but his father mocks him and his usage of ASL, forcing him to "speak" with his voice as opposed to using ASL and his translator.

(SPOILER!!)
Eli Sunday, who in both the original book (where his name is Eli Watkins) and the movie is pretty heavily implied to be gay, is beaten with a bowling pin and killed. It should be noted that it’s not because of his homosexuality, it’s because Daniel despises him for unrelated reasons.

The central conflict of the film is between a preacher and an atheist oilman. Religion and God being a superstition or not is repeatedly mentioned.

(SPOILERS) The film itself is very much a character study and criticism of greed, the main character faces a downward spiral throughout, and the film ends with him almost completely unhinged and disconnected from reality.

yes, but it's surprisingly sparse. an oil miner is unexpectedly struck in the head by a falling tool and dies instantly, his body being pulled out of the muck shortly afterwards. later, a character shoots another character in the head with a pistol, but in such a way that the victim remains alive for a brief moment after the shot, struggling to speak. at the very end of the film, someone has their head bashed in with a bowling pin and the aftermath remains visible for the remaining runtime.
