It's not a core feature of the film but they do go into some explanation that involves a form of stalking.

A character repeatedly claims to hate lies more than anything else, in between lies of his own. Otherwise there isn't anything I would consider adjacent to gaslighting beyond the amount of calculated deception/manipulation implied by the premise. No one is coerced into doubting, or independently doubts, their sanity.

There are some scenes with drinking, and in one scene the main character yells over the phone while drunk. Nothing that suggests alcohol abuse though.

A 15 year old boy gropes a young girl and attempts to kiss her. He then kisses another girl and rapes her. You cannot explicitly see the rape but you know it is happening, and you can see the distress from the girl and hear the sounds of him raping her. It is however very brief

Not an explicit hanging. But reference is made to a characters father who was put to death by hanging. Nothing is shown though and it was only a very brief mention

A man is shot in the face and killed, followed by a graphic close-up. It is likely his teeth were damaged.

Not fingers or toes specifically, but a man has his hand damaged repeatedly with a meat tenderiser. Most of this happens off-screen, with sound effects, but it is likely his fingers are damaged.

One man has his hand crushed with a meat cleaver and then it beaten off screen.
Another man is stabbed in the eye and pushed in front of a train.
Fight scene which includes knife and gun violence.
Another man is stabbed in the face at the end and is tortured off screen.

A bit, in the sense that when someone is stabbed, you’re more likely to hear it than see it. And you can hear the screams of people being tortured, shot, bitten etc

I have no idea why 2 people said “No!” to this!?! SPOILER: A main character’s Parent committed Suicide years earlier, so you don’t SEE the suicide. But you get to know that person through flashbacks.

There is one, inexplicit rape scene of a young girl performed by a young boy. Another character is groped and kissed. Both very quick scenes and this is the only form of sexual content.
There are a few references to a character telling another that she will not have sex with him.

The overall ending is a success and triumph for one of the main characters. However, towards the end of the film, references are made to sad events from a characters childhood, such as rape and the death of her parents and sisters

It shows gunshots a few times, as well as a graphic shot of the damage one shot did.
