- TriviaJoaquin Phoenix gained 33 pounds for the role.
- GoofsIn piano recitals using a grand piano, the piano is placed with the soundboard open towards the audience and the performer on the audience's left, so the music is amplified and directed to the audience. In Jill's recital, the soundboard is open but facing away from the audience and Jill is on the audience's right.
- Crazy creditsWhereas most of Woody Allen's films begin with a musical soundtrack, usually from the thirties or forties, alongside the credits, this one is almost silent, rising in volume until you hear traffic noise. Music is only heard when the credits end and Abe appears onscreen, and then it is much more modern music than usually accompanies Allen's intros.

Featured review
A Woody kinda comedy.
Another tick in the box for a Woody Allen film you can like. Not quite a classic but it has its moments and the leads are as good as the are in anything else. In terms of being a comedy, this is not going to make you laugh out loud - its more of a Woody Allen knowing smirk that stays with you throughout. Naturally it is smart, neurotic and melancholy. It plays like Crimes and Misdemeanours lite. So if you liked that one (and why wouldn't you? That one is a classic) then definitely give this a go. Perhaps most interesting as part of the journey leading Emma Stone from Superbad and The House Bunny less than ten years ago to Oscar glory in 2017.
