Trivia
Actor Bill Nighy stated during a Q&A session at the British Film Institute in London in 2010 that in his opinion he regards Richard Jenkins' performance in this film as one of the finest in motion picture history. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: While the woman on whom the Josie character is based started working at the site in 1975, in the film Josie Aimes started working at the mine in the late 1980s. Thus, her son's band t-shirts (Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses) are accurate to the time period depicted in the film, and not the real life story. See more »Quotes
