    • Trivia
      A color dye usually used in concentrated gels for soft drinks was added to the water to turn it to a dark color. Flat and expired soda pop was also used for dark and filthy water.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 20 mins) A square hole is cut in the apartment ceiling to fix a pipe causing a leak. There is a shot from inside the ceiling, looking down to the floor past the pipe and through the square hole. Dahlia enters the room looking up at the newly repaired pipe. She is obviously barefoot. She hears a noise and we cut to a shot looking down a hallway where there are wet footprints and someone hurriedly clearing the hallway to turn right out of shot. Curious, Dahlia immediately follows the noise. She is now making shoe-noises as she walks and as she climbs some stairs we see she is now wearing laced-up running shoes when just a second before she was barefoot.
    • Quotes

      Dahlia: [Referring to Natasha] I can't be her mother...I don't know how to be myself!

    • Alternate versions
      Unrated version adds one scene (dream sequence) but removes the dream/reality scene (where Dahlia dreams that her daughter returns from her father) and the scene where Ceci calls Dahlia. In the end the unrated version runs ca 1 minute shorter.

    Beautiful
    Ye the story is amazing, the neo noir atmosphere and gothic sequences surpass anything one could imagine and the science fiction plot works, but I was referring to Jennifer Connelly. is there a more beautiful woman playing a more beautiful character than hers in this fabulous masterpiece? i don't think so. She is super thin, ravishing brunette with lips with a million dollars. Well done.
