* PeriodPiece: The film seems to take place around the 1970s, based on the cars, but Bob wears a somewhat anachronistic fedora that is probably a reference to the film's Bonnie and Clyde inspiration.

''Ain't Them Bodies Saints'' is a 2013 drama film by Creator/DavidLowery starring Creator/CaseyAffleck, Creator/RooneyMara, Creator/BenFoster and Creator/KeithCarradine.
Affleck and Mara play Bob and Ruth, two lovers who commit an armed robbery and get caught by the police. Bob takes the fall and goes to prison, forcing Ruth to raise their child by herself under the watch of their mutual father figure Skerrit (Carradine). Meanwhile, Patrick (Foster), a friendly police officer who helped arrest Bob, tries to ingratiate himself into Ruth's life. When Ruth learns that Bob has escaped from prison in an attempt to rejoin his family, Ruth faces a difficult choice on what to do.
The film was Lowery's directorial debut. While not a financial success, it was lauded by critics and put Lowery's name on the map.
!!Tropes:
* BadassGrandpa: Skerrit is an old man, but not too old to tell off a pack of bounty hunters and man-handle Bob when he comes visiting, warning both to stay away from Ruth. [[spoiler:It ultimately gets him killed after he fires on the final bounty hunter]].
* BlatantLies: Bob tells a tall tale of his prison escape in which he nonchalantly walks out of prison because he has "better things to do." Sweetie has already heard the real story of his escape.
* BountyHunter: Three arrive in Meridian to try to catch Bob.
* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: Bob stuck the haul from his robbery in a suitcase and buried it outside their hideout. He and Sweetie dig it up after Bob escapes prison.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Patrick is interested in Ruth and finds excuses to visit her. While he is always extremely polite and respectful, he's also choosing a rather difficult time to start wooing Ruth, with Bob being loose.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Bob dies in Ruth's arms shortly after reuniting with her. He wants to see his daughter, but she's carried away by Patrick to spare her from witnessing her father's death. The couple's father figure Skerrit has also recently died]].
* DramaticIrony: Patrick pursues Ruth without knowing that ''she'' was the one who shot him, not Bob.
* GreatEscape: Off-screen. Bob makes up a tall tale about his escape, but Sweetie says he heard he just jumped off a work truck.
* HappyFlashback: The film ends on one in which Bob tells his grand plans for the future to his unborn daughter.
* OutlawCouple: Ruth and Bob are explicitly based on Bonnie and Clyde.
* SilenceIsGolden: The film features many quiet and understated sequences.
* TrackingShot: The film features a motif of the camera following behind a character as they march forward, filmed in SteadiCam.
