Added DiffLines:

* DisposableFiancee: It's hinted that Syd isn't that happy with James and their relationship in the start of the movie, and she loses interest in him completely once she meets Lucy.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: James is a condescending, insecure drip, but it's not irrational to be alarmed when your girlfriend comes home in the middle of the night high on heroin for the first time.

!!This film provides examples of:
* AlterKocker: Lucy's [[JewishMother mom]]. Justified in that she is a [[spoiler:Holocaust survivor who grew up in Germany]].
* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: Lucy]].
* DoggedNiceGuy: James, who suffers in silence—up to a point.
* DrugsAreBad: Averted with most of the tertiary characters; played straight with [[spoiler:Lucy and Greta]].
* WatchItStoned: Lucy wants Syd to shoot up with her the first time [[spoiler: they have sex.]]
* FunctionalAddict: Lucy, [[spoiler: until she's not]]. Subverted by Greta, who is definitely no longer functional.
* KissingUnderTheInfluence: Between Lucy and Syd, and Syd and James.
* LoveTriangle: Among Lucy, Syd, James and Greta.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Lucy Berliner is usually assumed to be a stand-in for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nan_Goldin Nan Goldin]], a real-life lesbian Jewish photographer.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Syd gives one to James after he makes one too many snide comments about Lucy and her friends.
* SmokingIsCool: In this movie, the more "artistic" the character, the more likely that character is to smoke tobacco, do heroin or both.
