Well, the sad parts are mostly people dealing with past traumas--long past.

Possible trigger:

The main character (played by Kevin Spacey) is devastated with his wife's death, but she was really, really awful so aren't sad when she dies. ;-) But he is also dealing with past child abuse by his father (which is why he ended up with such a horrible wife). And another character is dealing with past sexual abuse, and another with a philandering husband.

The primary theme of the movie is connecting with others and healing. And of course, you can't have healing in a movie without giving characters something to heal from. Right?

So, yeah, this movie might be too triggering for you. But it's a wonderful movie and I hope one day you feel strong enough to watch it.
