Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
"Note that [All Jews Are Ashkenzai] is not about the simple presence of Ashkenazi Jews in a work, but rather about the implicit or explicit assumption that all Jews share the same East-Central European cultural roots (e.g. by having Jewish characters speaking with Yiddish accents where their background and/or time period would make this improbable). Please do not add examples along the lines of "Character X is Ashkenazi" when it is nothing remarkable."


* AllJewsAreAshkenazi: Rebecca at least says she's of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and that Hal [[ControlFreak made her take a saliva sample]] to prove that she really was.

!!This film provides examples of:

* BittersweetEnding: More sweet than bitter. [[spoiler:Rebecca has deleted the video of their sessions, and Hal gets the idea that Rebecca should become CEO of his dad's company, and that he can offer her support. Rebecca alleges that he has no way to even say that to his mother. He responds that he will say that they are in love and he is giving her his company. The two of them kiss.]]
* {{Blackmail}}: [[spoiler:Rebecca tells Hal she's recorded all of their sessions together and threatens to leak the video to the public if he does not meet her demands.]]
* BottleEpisode: The film takes place entirely over one night within one hotel room (and the floor directly outside it) with only two actors.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Rebecca sees Hal giving her a watch, even one worth thousands of dollars, as a parting gift as offensive, given he earns so much more than that.
* TitleDrop: [[spoiler:"Sanctuary" is the safe word.]]
