What's left behind the scenes
- At the 33rd minute, Sue takes a food package for Elizabeth from the locker. However, a couple of seconds before that, it is visible that the package is already lying on the floor.
- One of the main characters, played by Margaret Qualley, wears star-shaped earrings, just like the character from the director Coralie Fargeat's debut film "Revenge".
- In several interviews, Demi Moore said that when reading the script, she remembered reading the script for "Ghost" and also thought that the film was facing either complete failure or enormous success.
- Demi Moore and director and screenwriter Coralie Fargeau once met in Paris, and as a result of this meeting, Fargeau invited Moore to play Elizabeth.
- Margaret Qualley admitted in an interview that the bare breasts in the film were not her own, but skillfully made prosthetics.
- According to Demi Moore, the prosthetic makeup required 6 to 9 hours to apply and only lasted for a limited time.
- Ray Liotta was cast as Harvey in February 2022. However, he passed away before filming began, and the role went to Dennis Quaid.
- At the 50th minute, when Sue is carrying Elizabeth’s body, it is visible that the right eye in Elizabeth’s portrait is not cracked. When the shot changes to a close-up, the glass is seen to be broken. At the 52nd minute, when Sue is carrying the portrait, the glass is again visible as being intact.
- According to Coralie Fargeat, the main source of inspiration for the film was Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
