* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: We're meant to see Adam in the wrong for getting aggressive towards the woman at the bus stop. Except she was incredibly rude and ignorant; rather than either giving Adam some change or simply saying she didn't want to give him anything, she goes out of her way to ignore him and KickTheDog - "you don't exist to me" - so you can hardly blame Adam for calling her out on this.
* ValuesResonance: As Ireland's housing crisis gets worse and worse, the film's tackling of homelessness is more relevant than ever.

* AcceptableTargets: Rich philosophy students, according to Adam anyway.
* CatharsisFactor: The posh boy getting a good dose of karma when the crazy junkie attacks him immediately after he antagonises Adam.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** Adam being found leaning against a car looks like he's about to get disrespected again but the taxi driver realises he's homeless, shares some of his own experiences and gives Adam a twenty without him having to ask for it.
** [[spoiler: Adam then gives up that twenty to the prostitute Claire just so she can take her daughter to [=McDonalds=] for her birthday]].
** The growing connection between Adam and Eve. You can tell she may have - if not fallen for him - at least grown to like him as a friend.
* OneSceneWonder: Lots given the nature of the film, but most notably the director himself Robbie Walsh as a taxi driver who experienced homelessness himself, and gives Adam a twenty (and a nice pep talk).
* SlowPacedBeginning: Some reviews felt that the first few scenes of Adam wandering around on his own got the film off to a slow start, but the pace picked up as soon as he begins interacting with other characters. Of course that could be the IntendedAudienceReaction - to show the boredom associated with being homeless.
* StoicWoobie: Adam considering how sucky his life is. He remains stoic, only getting emotional when casually revealing his backstory.
