In addition to writing and directing, Lulu Wang also plays piano on the film's soundtrack.
In an interview with Terry Gross on NPR's "Fresh Air" on July 24, 2019, Lulu Wang related how she had considerably underestimated the rates she would have to pay Chinese actors, citing how Shuzhen Zhao, who portrays Nai Nai, is a very popular actress in China and how she had to personally plead with her to accept this role.
The first ever PG rated A24 film.
A July 2019 Eric Kohn article on Indiewire said that when this movie opened in limited release on July 12, it "beat out Avengers: Endgame (2019) for the year's biggest per-theater average."
Early in the film Billi discovers a bird has flown into her apartment and while trying to set it free receives a call from her grandmother. Many superstitions cite a bird flying into the home as a sign of impending death.
"Nai Nai: I walked the path of life and I have to say, you will face with difficulties. But you have to have an open mind. Don't be like a bull hitting his horns all over the walls of the room. Life isn't just about what you do, it's more about how you do it."
"Billi: Okay, when were you guys going to tell me this? How could you let me find out like this? Jian: How should I have told you? "Oh, your grandma's on the roof"."
