Considering the rare NC-17 history of the rating (only -- only about 90 films have ever received it, as its it's a kiss of death due to distribution issues), and issues -- they even issued a press statement that in which they planned to release uncut, stating said, "It's time the rating be used in a serious manner, not as a scarlet letter."

* {{Jossed}}: Carey Mulligan went on record in at least one interview stating that the common assumption of Brandon and Sissy having an incestuous relationship has zero basis in the character work they did during production, and such background was never a conversation that was had during filming.

Enforced Method Acting, and revise this to just fake American


* FakeAmerican / OohMeAccentsSlipping: Fassbender drifts in and out of an American accent, but they include a token "I grew up in Ireland" line (probably so he can focus less on his accent and more on keeping in character during largely improvised scenes).
