Brother–Sister Incest: Evoked but not played straight, in the scene where Tom confronts Jessie with photos of her with Dad. She kicks him off her and she’s revealed to be naked, while he is wearing only boxers. She strongly hints to him that he’s jealous of Dad, but whether he is or not is left unspoken. | |

| The War Zone / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Dad is engaging in an incestuous relationship with his own daughter, which she plainly doesn't want, and he is in denial about. He later hits Tom for confronting him about it, and it's heavily implied he may have started abusing his newborn daughter. | |

Cool Big Sis: Tom wants Jessie to be this, but while she’s older than him, she’s smaller, more damaged and more vulnerable. | |
