Trivia

Many critics dismissed the movie as being just a filmed version of David Hare's stage play. In fact Hare re-wrote about 60 percent of the material for the film. See more »

Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: In the scene where Meryl Streep and Charles Dance meet for the first time in her apartment in England, after he removes her coat and the camera starts a slow dolly in (right after she says "A commute on the cross-channel ferry"), a wheel of the dolly is visible in the reflection of the painting of the cherubs on the wall.
