Atom Egoyan says that the film was inspired by three experiences: being taken to a lesbian club where women onstage performed as men; having a tax auditor suggest to him (incorrectly) that he was being cheated by a business partner; and realizing as a teenager that a friend was trapped in an incestuous relationship.
The director's wife, Arsinée Khanjian, was seven months pregnant when her parts in the movie were filmed.
When the film was being advertised through newspapers in the Philippines, the banner states "Strong warning by the MTRCB (Movie and Television Ratings Classification Board) - strictly for adults only. This film is approved without cuts because of its artistic value."
The film is included on Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list.
Sarah Polley, playing a small supporting role in this film, later starred in Atom Egoyan's later film The Sweet Hereafter (1997). Also appearing in both films are Bruce Greenwood and Egoyan's wife Arsinée Khanjian.
"Zoe: What is this thing about Eric calling you "a sassy piece of jailbait"? Christina: What's this thing? Zoe: It bothers me. Christina: Why? Zoe: It makes you out like a child or something. Christina: Unlike the tartan skirt and my socks or the blouse or the way I act, right?"
"Christina: Do you have a lot of friends? Eric: Not really... Christina: Do you ever wish you did? Eric: Yeah. Christina: When? Eric: Well... like... now, for instance. Christina: Why? Eric: Well... I just met you. And I feel like telling somebody about it."
