Did you know
• Nicole Kidman called this one of her favorites among her filmography. She also believes it's one of the most overlooked and misunderstood films of her career, saying the controversies surrounding the bathtub scene eclipsed the themes of grief and vulnerability in the film.
• Christina Applegate turned down the lead role, due to the sexual nature of the film, and claimed that it was rewritten at Nicole Kidman's request.
• At the symphony, when Anna is reacting to seeing Young Sean collapse (in his father's arms), the zoom-in on her face lasts a full two minutes.
