* BrokenAesop: Several viewers have pointed out the somewhat problematic ending of Kyle and Nina's story, in which Kyle rejects Nina's offer of help and leaves with Harvey and the other kids to presumably continue his life as a CamWhore. This gives the impression that the entire story was trying to say "don't try to help teens in this life because they're happy as they are".

YMMV can't be played with.


* MoralEventHorizon: An unusual case with Jason and Frye after they distribute Ben's picture to the entire grade. It's zig-zagged with Jason since he has something of a HeelFaceTurn after seeing the results of his prank, but Frye never really shows any remorse for what he's done and is more worried that he'll get caught.

"Fridge Tearjerker" isn't a thing.


** The fact that none of the storylines are actually truly resolved by the end can be a FridgeTearjerker to some.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The movie isn't exactly subtle in its messages about the downside of technology, but it's possibly a case of SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.

* HeReallyCanAct: Not that he was considered a ''bad'' actor before this but most people really only knew Jason Bateman from his more comedic roles. This movie proved that he was just as good a dramatic actor as he is a comedian.

* JerkassWoobie: Pretty much everyone but Jason is probably a shining example of this: he's a bully who goads a classmate into sending him a lewd picture of himself and subsequently distributes it around their school [[DisproportionateRetribution just for staring at him]], but his mother is dead and he has a difficult relationship with his father, ''and'' feels incredibly guilty after his actions [[DrivenToSuicide cause Ben to hang himself]].

* SignatureScene: The slow-mo climax of each of the stories.
* {{Tearjerker}}: This is not a happy movie, so there's quite a few:
** Cindy and Derek's backstory of having a baby who subsequently died, especially when we see home videos of them with the baby.
** Ben's reaction to the trolling comments on his picture and his message to "Jessica" ('why???'), as well as his refusal to talk to his parents about it can be this to anyone who's been cyberbullied.
** Everyone's reaction to Ben hanging himself.
