History Film / LovingAnnabelle

* UnresolvedSexualTension: The entire movie up until the climax and prompt ending has this by Annabelle with Ms. Bradley.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Annabelle and Ms. Bradley. The film toys with whether they'll act on their mutual attraction for most of its length. However, near the end, they get together and it leads to Ms. Bradley's ruin.

''Loving Annabelle'' is a film about a troubled teen named Annabelle (Erin Kelly) who is forced into Catholic private school after getting kicked out of several other schools. Once there, she falls in love with her poetry teacher, Simone Bradley (Diane Gaidry), and they enter into a controversial relationship.

* BathtubScene: A couple times Ms. Bradley is shown in the bath, with her nipples seen.

* BoardingSchool: Annabelle is sent to a Catholic boarding school by her mother, as she's been expelled from her past two schools. We're told that if she's expelled from this as well, she'll go to military school. [[spoiler:It doesn't work, and she will likely be sent there in the wake of the film's events.]]
* BrokenBird: Ms. Bradley, who seems depressed and withdrawn over the loss of her girlfriend years ago, plus her repressed attraction to women.

* DownerEnding: Ms. Bradley is arrested over having sex with Annabelle (who's underage), and will likely go to prison or at least get registered as a sex offender. Certainly her teaching career is over, along with their affair. Annabelle can only watch heartbroken as the police escort her lover away, placing her most prized possession, the prayer beads that her girlfriend gave to her, in Ms. Bradley's hand before they've taken her.

* IllegalReligion: Annabelle is not permitted to have Buddhist prayer beads, presumably as it's a Catholic school. It isn't that she's Buddhist herself (they're a memento from her girlfriend), but the effect is the same. She's punished for first refusing this with wearing a huge crucifix, but gives in later.
* JailbaitTaboo: Annabelle is seventeen, yet Ms. Bradley (after resisting for most of the film) has sex with her. At the end, when it's learned they slept together, she's arrested.
* LastNameBasis: Simone Bradley, who's almost always referred to as "Ms. Bradely" given that she's a teacher. Only her aunt, head teacher Mother Immaculata, calls her Simone.

* TheLostLenore: Ms. Bradley's first girlfriend had died years ago-she keeps her cross as a memento. It also subtly overshadows the film, as it's implied she's mourned ever since, and repressed her attraction to women (possibly both due to being Catholic, plus avoiding further heartbreak).

* SelfHarm: Colins is shown to cut herself, probably for dealing with her social anxiety and getting bullied.

* TeacherStudentRomance: Annabelle is very attracted to her teacher Ms. Bradley. Ms. Bradley reciprocates her attraction, but initially resists given that she's her teacher. However, she eventually gives in and they start a relationship.

** Annabelle carried Buddhist prayer beads her girlfriend had, who she's been forcibly separated from.
