Short description

In New York, a struggling actress and a successful writer sing about their failed marriage from two perspectives.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was shot in 21 days. Filming took place in New York, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The final song, "Goodbye Until Tomorrow," was filmed on the last day.
  • The plot is partly based on the real-life relationship between Jason Robert Brown and his first wife.
  • The film is an adaptation of the stage musical The Last Five Years (2001).
  • When Cathy sings the song "Goodbye Until Tomorrow," the action takes place in 2008. However, a license plate on a car parked near her apartment can be seen with a newer design that didn't appear until 2010.
  • In the trailer, Cathy hands papers to a man sitting at a piano. This man is Jason Robert Brown, the composer of the musical.
  • Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan sang 11 out of 14 songs live. The song "If I Didn't Believe in You" was filmed in one take. Jeremy Jordan sang this song 14 times before a successful take was achieved. And Anna Kendrick had to sing "Still Hurting" a total of 17 times, with this scene being filmed with five different cameras.
