!!Tropes:
* AlternateHistory: DownplayedTrope, but several key elements are deliberately changed and a fictional
* AmbiguouslyBi[=/=]AmbiguouslyGay: As noted by many reviewers, Ned is seen dedicating much more physical affection to other members of the gang than to [[spoiler: his baby mama]] Mary.
* ArcWords: 'Nothing scares a man like crazy.'
* ArmorIsUseless: Famously averted, as the Kelly Gang's trademark suits of armour protect them from the coppers' bullets and make them famous.
* BadassBeard: Averted; contrary to most Ned Kelly adaptations (and to real life), Kelly is portrayed without a beard; this is a deliberate choice to downplay the masculinity behind the Ned Kelly myth.
* CreepyCrossdresser: Invoked by the Kelly Gang, who wear dresses in this film, due to Joe Byrne's reasoning in the above ArcWords; not quite TruthInTelevision, but this is based on Kelly Gang member Steve Hart's reported real-life crossdressing.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the Ned Kelly myth in general, as mentioned above, particularly the masculinity behind its contemporary view in the public eye.
* DeterminedWidow: Ellen Quinn Kelly.
* EvilMatriarch: Not evil, per se, but Ellen's maternity is portrayed as a very toxic influence on Ned.
* TheFagin: Harry Power.
* FatBastard: Harry Power.
* GenreBusting: Director Justin Kurzel adds a PunkRock aesthetic to the bushranger genre; Kurzel has likened the Kelly Gang to a punk band, and MacKay (Ned), Earl Cave (Dan Kelly), Sean Keenan (Joe Byrne), and Louis Hewison (Steve Hart) even played a few sets as a band to prepare for the roles.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: PrettyBoy George MacKay plays Kelly here.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Averted; Kelly and his gang are not portrayed as villains but are also portrayed as thoroughly unheroic.
* NonIndicativeTitle: As noted by a title card in the film and the trailer, 'Nothing you are about to see is true.'
* TheOldestProfession: Ellen Quinn Kelly runs a shebeen.
* SceneryPorn[=/=]SceneryGorn: Courtesy of cinematographer Ari Wegner.
* TimeshiftedActor: As noted above, Orlando Schwerdt plays Ned as a boy and George MacKay as a young man.
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: See NonIndicativeTitle.
* TheWestern: The Kelly Gang and bushrangers in general are the Aussie equivalent of desperados, and the Victoria police force fill the role of the {{Posse}}.
