    • Trivia
      In an interview Alex Lawther and Andrew Steggal admit that the dinner-scene room was so small that the entire movie-crew barely stayed.
    • Goofs
      When naming gay writers, Elliot says the name of Victor Hugo, adding that he had to wait for his mother to die to be with the person he loved, this is not true as Victor Hugo was well known for his love of women, especially prostitutes.

      Beatrice: that jacket is revoling, it has holes in it!

      Elliot: so do I.

    An interesting gem
    This is one of those character driven movies that draw you in from beginning to end.

    The movie follows mother and son over a week as they pack up a vacation home and ready it for sale. They meet a local boy enters their lives and complicate matters.

    Although slow moving at times, I found this a fascinating watch with believable characters and situations.
