John: How would you like to make a very poor financial decision?

  • Writer/director Celine Song’s name is listed as the playwright for John’s play on a poster outside the theater, because the play is actually a real one she wrote back in 2016.
  • The leg-lengthening surgery discussed in this movie is real, although far less common than procedures such as rhinoplasty or breast augmentation. The cost of $200,000 stated in the film is also generally correct.
  • John Magaro, who voices the character Mark P. (never seen on screen), played a key character, Arthur, husband of Nora, in Past Lives, also written and directed by Celine Song.
  • While Lucy and Harry’s apartments were filmed on-location, John’s apartment was built in-studio. Director Celine Song shared photographs of a place where her husband, Justin Kuritzkes, formerly lived, as a reference point for the dilapidated apartment.
  • First thoughts for the film began around 10 years ago, when writer/director Celine Song worked for a professional matchmaking service for about six months.
  • The film was shot during peak wedding season, which restricted location options. Rather than being able to film the wedding sequence in one venue, production was split across four locations.
  • The makeup desk where Lucy sits at the start of the film once belonged to Norman Rockwell, according to set decorator Amy Silver.
  • At the end of the credits, there is a scene of people getting married, and the cave people are seen happily walking out of the room together.
