    • Trivia
      This film is set in real time, without breaks and, with the exception of the park scenes at the beginning and end, in a single location. The light outside visibly changes during the running time and it's slowly getting darker, adding another layer of realism to the film.
    • Goofs
      Once the amount of whisky in the bottle reaches to about 2 inches from the bottom, there are a few more glasses filled that should have emptied it, but instead the whisky continues to remain at that same level in the bottle.
    • Quotes

      Alan Cowan: [to Penelope] I saw your friend Jane Fonda on TV the other day. Made me want to run out and buy a Ku Klux Klan poster.

    remarkable acting

    it is not a surprise. the cast is great and the script/play gives many opportunities for demonstrate this fact. image of a crisis, simple and powerful, impressive for the precision of scenes,a play who has chance to has extraordinary actors, it is a splendid exploration of characters and society human types. a special film who seems be almost extravagant.because all is different by common recipes. the transformation of masks in aggressive tools, the fragility of existences and marriages, the force of accusations, the frustrations as axis of a form of survive. a bitter comedy, a deep drama. and one of guide movies who reminds the purpose of real cinema - art as subtle reflection of life.
