Triggers
- child abuse: A schoolteacher hits Amy with a cane. We don't see this happen but we see bloody welts on the palm of her hand afterwards. This is clearly portrayed as wrong, and they decide to homeschool Amy after this incident. The sisters also have an aunt who says hurtful things, but this is mostly played for laughs and not taken seriously. Overall, all the children in the film are loved and cared for.
- alcohol abuse: Laurie drinks too much and makes a scene on one occasion. Alcohol abuse is not a major theme, but it's implied that he has a drinking habit because he's upset about a relationship not working out. This subplot has a happy ending and the problem isn't mentioned again.
- finger or toe mutilation: Amy is caned by a schoolteacher on the palm of her hand, we don't see this happen but we see some bloody welts on her hand afterwards.
- choking: One character breathes with difficulty while gravely ill. There is also a near-drowning scene in a frozen lake, but they don't spend long underwater.
- kids dying: [SPOILER] One of the main characters dies (a well known plot point from the book). She dies of illness and the actual death happens offscreen so it is not graphic at all, but it is obviously sad. There is also an old man who is grieving the loss of a young daughter many years ago. And it is mentioned that a baby died from scarlet fever.
- someone dies
- major character dies
- family dies
- bodies of water
- "I'll kill myself"
- crying babies: When they go to the poor family's house, little children can be heard and seen crying.
- babies/unborn
- terminal illness
- chronic illnesses: a main character has scarlet fever and it's a major part of the plot SPOILER: she ends up dying from it
- blood or gore: It's a very gentle and nonviolent movie. The only shot of blood is after Amy is caned by a schoolteacher on the palm of her hand. We don't see this happen but we see some bloody welts on her hand afterwards. Her hand gets bandaged immediately.
