    • Trivia
      The letter telling Nora about Trudi's absences from school gives the name of the school principal as Allison Anders, the director of the film.
    • Goofs
      When Shade buys fabric softener at the store next to the laundromat the store's sign is backwards. It would read "closed" if you were to try to come through the front door ("open" faces inward).
    • Quotes

      Raymond: [barely playing along as if they were strangers] So, what line of work are you in, Miss Evans?

      Nora: Oh please, call me Nora.

      Raymond: Nora. Nora, Nora...

      Nora: I'm a brain surgeon, mainly. How 'bout you?

      Raymond: I'm a grave digger myself. Um, digging my own as we speak. Rapidly.

      Nora: Well that makes two things you do quick.

    Pull the heart strings
    I absolutely loved this movie. There's no other way to put it.

    Great acting from Fairuza and Ione and no matter what anyone says Ione Skye is a fabulous, talented actress. Every woman should see this movie and ultimately relate to it. We're all in search of a long-lasting relationship, but there are worse things in the world than being lonely. That's what I took away from the movie. For a change this film actually had an intelligent screenplay and top quality acting and directing. Again, I highly recommend the movie especially to women. Don't let this one go unnoticed!!
