Trivia
The lengthy delivery scene in the hospital was only shot once. The doctors and nurses were real, not actors, hired to make the scene feel more authentic.

Goofs
Reflection of a few members of the crew is visible during dolly shot as Cleo walks to the movie theater with the family.

Quotes
Cleo: I like being dead.

Crazy credits
The closing credits end with "Shantih Shantih Shantih," the conclusion to every mantra in the Upanishads, a collection of 108 Hindu scriptures. "Shantih" was referenced several times in Alfonso Cuarón's earlier film, Children of Men (2006).
