A 2011 film directed and co-written by Steve McQueen.
Line 9:

{{tropelist}}
* [[Anything That Moves]]: Brandon seems to have no problem sleeping with men as well as women if [[Situational Sexuality|the circumstances demand it]].
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: David spends every waking moment hitting on women, even though he's married with kids, and seems to have a great time doing it even though he's often unsuccessful. Brandon, in contrast, seems to have no problem finding sexual partners, but it brings him virtually no happiness.
* [[Caught
* [[Crapsack World]]: It's implied that the fast-moving life in a city like New York and the social expectations that come with it are partly responsible for Brandon's addiction.
* [[A Date
* [[Downer Ending]]: Sissy has {{spoiler|attempted suicide}} for what is likely not the first time, and Brandon still hasn't really dealt with his problems.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Sissy, although she survives.}}
Line 25:
* [[Improv]]: Several scenes were partially or largely ad-libbed, including Brandon and Marianne's date, leading to an endearingly awkward and realistic conversation.
* [[Incest Subtext]]: Brandon and Sissy's relationship is waaaaaaay open to interpretation.
* [[
* [[Joisey]]: Where Brandon and Sissy grew up.
* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: McQueen loves these; Brandon and Marianne's date is one long take, as is part of Sissy's performance of "New York, New York," as is their heated conversation on the couch.
Line 31:
* [[Male Frontal Nudity]]: And how! The very beginning of the film features extended looks at Fassbender's not-so-little soldier.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Sissy. Though it doesn't seem to be working for her.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Used a few times, most strikingly after Sissy catches Brandon having [[A Date
* [[My Sister Is Off
* [[The Oner]]: Brandon jogs along 31st St. at night while {{spoiler|Sissy and David are hooking up in his apartment}}; it's shot as one long take.
* [[Out, Damned Spot!]]: Brandon is rather compulsive about cleaning himself.
* [[Platonic Prostitution]]: Played with - Brandon hires numerous prostitutes for sex, but at times seems to be trying to form some sort of emotional connection with them, perhaps just out of sheer desperation. They always politely decline.
* [[The Pornomancer]]: Brandon throws himself at women almost as frequently as they throw themselves at him.
Line 42:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Lots, such as when Brandon listens to gentle piano music when out running while {{spoiler|Sissy and David have sex on his bed}}.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: And ''boy'' are they needed.
* [[Three
