- TriviaDuring rehearsals, the cast was encouraged to bring in music they believed their characters listened to. Then, to encourage familiarity among the cast, there would be a dance party where the only rule was that everyone had to dance and it didn't matter what the song was.
- GoofsDorothea is variously depicted discussing her stock portfolio with her son Jamie, quoting NYSE share prices in decimals, doing this in 1979. However, the switch to decimal from fractional stock prices in the U.S. did not occur until the year 2000.

Featured review
Very strong film. I don't understand all the negative reviews.
This is a very strong film, unless you only like fast-paced action films; I'm going to go out on a limb and say you'll probably like this movie.
As is the norm with A24... it's a good film.
I don't really have much to complain about. I belied in the world of the film, I believed the characters were real, etc-- the world and logic of the film was well established. There were a few tropes of the genre, but some strong writing and direction makes one look past this without really thinking about it. I actually cared about the story and wanted to see how things played out.
The story is a bit disjointed, but I think that works to the film's benefit due to the type of storytelling it's going for, which overall is very effective.
I'd recommend this film to pretty much everyone that likes good movies.
8 out of 10
