• In 2020, Sigourney Weaver reflected on the movie during her interview with "Entertainment Tonight." She said, "This one is the one I'm most grateful I got to do, because I hope that it will be such a support to these young kids. My heart goes out to all of them. I think there probably is nothing more difficult than not being able to express who you are and all the questions you have about that in a safe space."

• [58:42]When the two churchmen are talking with the Griffith family, some of the pictures on the mantel are of the real Bobby Griffith.

• Quote before ending credits: "Before you echo Amen in your home or place worship, think and remember. A child is listening.--Mary Griffith".
