Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMark Ruffalo had a lot of doubts about his performance during the shoot. He often half-joked that his friend Oscar Isaac, who was filming on a nearby sound stage, was going to be called in to replace him. One day, Willem Dafoe pranked Ruffalo by taking him to a room where Isaac (who was in on the joke) was waiting. Isaac and Dafoe informed Ruffalo he was fired and, indeed, getting replaced by Isaac.
- GoofsMark Ruffalo's attempt at a British accent is extremely unconvincing.
However, an unconvincing accent is simply a limitation of the actor's ability and not a mistake on the part of the filmmakers. Also, what is considered unconvincing is a subjective matter of opinion.

- Alternate versionsThe UK's BBFC viewed the film during editing to provide advice on classification, and informed the distributor it required changes to one short sequence to secure an "18" rating. The scene depicted sexual activity in the presence of children. Under UK law, this could be illegal and therefore required removal before being distributed within the country. The changes were made before formal classification, and this same version of the film was ultimately released everywhere.

Featured review
Having read several reviews here, I was pretty sure I would not like the movie and would be left rather disgusted. However, the story, the costumes, and the camera work absolutely take you away. The dialogues are so comical and grotesque. I loved all the actors! They did a fantastic job. But especially Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, and Kaththryn Hunter. I think Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo absolutely should win something for these roles. Of course you have a feminist moment there (but what doesn't these days?) but it does not spoil the movie. Highly recommend to watch it in a movie theather.
