- TriviaIn a 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Morris spoke about the reasoning behind shooting the movie on 35mm film: "Right at the beginning, I knew that I wanted this to have the texture and grit and grain of film. I wasn't directly trying to make a 1970s movie, but I knew it would carry that kind of atmosphere about it. A lot of the visual references actually were from mid-century street photographers, who obviously shot on film. When Larkin Seiple came on board to shoot it, we looked at each other and we were like, 'This has to be on film, right?' We tested 35, 16 millimeter, and some digital grain filters. But it was clear after the test that there was only one choice, and I didn't want fake grain on this. I wanted to be ingrained in more of an American look."

Featured review
Mind-blowingly realistic
The character was so repulsive that at first I didn't think I could ever find one redeeming quality in her. She was odious. So since I didn't yet know anybody else's character, and since the whole thing was getting to be a real bummer, you know, like real life can be, I thought about dumping the whole show. But out of curiosity, I decided to hang on a bit longer.
It paid off big time. This is a great movie. It is not preachy, not judgmental, you have no idea how it will end, and it does a satisfying job. The acting is great, the script is fantastic, and the story has total credibility. I'm glad I stayed with it.
