The Unreveal: We never find out why Kelly committed suicide. This is the point of the movie; we see that the six viewpoint characters all had reason to do so, but since we don't get to see things from Kelly's perspective, we don't understand what drove her to end her life. | |

Jerk Jock: Luke is a star soccer player who thinks that school is useless because he is going to be a professional footballer. He talks through class, brags about his sexual conquests, and is one of the primary bullies who picks on Steven and harassers Sean for being openly gay. He is also secretly gay and has had some sort of relationship with Sean. | |

2:37 / int_aec19d54 | comment |
Hyperlink Story: The different viewpoint characters' stories are more interconnected and overlapping than they appear at first glance. This is reinforced both by tracking shots switching to track a different character mid-shot and by showing the same events more than once when following different characters. | |

Child by Rape | |
2:37 / int_bb7ae292 | comment |
Child by Rape: Melody is revealed to be pregnant, the implication being that the child may have been conceived when she was raped by her brother. However, the rape occurs the day before she takes the pregnancy test, in which case it would be far too early for a positive result to come up. Early in the film it's hinted that she had a sexual affair with Luke behind Sarah's back, meaning that Luke is more than likely the father. | |

Armoured Closet Gay: Luke's crew pick on Sean for being gay, and when Luke mentions an interest in trying anal sex with his girlfriend to a friend of his, he denies there being anything gay about it. However, the porn Luke watches is gay porn, and he has at least a casual relationship with Sean. When Steven finds out about the latter, Luke punches him in the face and threatens him with further violence if he tells anyone. | |
