The scenes with Sarah (Riley Keough) in the swimming pool are almost exact recreations of scenes from Marilyn Monroe's last film, Something's Got to Give (1962), which was never completed due to her sudden unexpected death. The footage from that film can be found online.
When Sam watches his neighbours with binoculars, a cigarette and the phone in his hand, he is in the same position as Jeff in Rear Window (1954) by Hitchcock. Sam also has a Rear Window poster in his apartment.
