=== This film provides examples of: ===
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: With the possible exception of Trent, the only adult who understands Devon (and not completely).
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Sean.
* [[Angry Guard Dog]]: Tracker.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Two of them, both Devon and Trent.
* [[Attempted Rape]]: {{spoiler|Brett}}, to Devon, ironically enough. Contrast her parent's reaction when she tries to tell them a "nice boy" has attacked her to their immediate assumption the Trent is a paedophile.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Averted somewhat with Devon.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Deep South]]
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: The last shot of the film switches from color to black and white.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Just before {{spoiler|Brett}} attempts to molest Devon, he strokes her face and lips with a bullet, and asks her "Do you wanna know what it feels like to have it go inside?"
* [[Foe Yay]]: {{spoiler|At one point, Trent seems to grab and kiss Sean (see [[Ambiguously Gay]] above) to shock him into backing off - though it's in order to bite him.}}
* [[Gainax Ending]]
* [[Harmful to Minors]]: Devon witnesses Trent getting it on with a woman, and later, her own mother cheating on her father. If that's not enough, an adult bully tries to sexually abuse Devon. Then even later, {{spoiler|a cop and her father start beating up Trent, in full view of Devon.}}
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: A young [[The OC|Mischa Barton]] plays Devon in her very first film role.
** Sam Rockwell goes on to play Justin Hammer in [[Iron Man (Film)|Iron Man 2]].
** [[Requiem for A Dream|Tappy Tibbons]] is Devon's dad.
