Filming took place in the director's neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Chloë Sevigny also lived in the neighborhood at the time. She said, "In, like, my 20 year career I've never walked to work before. It was awesome." See more »
Quotes
Jess:
This girl, he says, *younger than you*, is-is totally alone. She's here for several months and she has no meaningful relationships at all. But see, I look at that as a freeing situation. Young. Travel. You see a version of that as desperate. Alone. Subjectivity. The grass might be greener.
Sam:
The grass is dead and covered with salt.

Part way through, w/out even knowing, I thought this script had to come out of N.Y. (and/or environs) based on personages in that area being obsessed w/dysfunctional relationships (must be the water). That and their other obsession which is rom-coms. Still another scripted older male w/young attractive "assisting" student/worker female unknowingly creating discord within a family. Inane dialogue. So over-acted it was distracting (especially the excessively expressive not-so-nuanced facial contortions). Further, to make the film have a heartbeat higher than near death they added some moronic piano key notes (as if tapping w/one hand). Ughhh!!
