TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Writer and director, Elizabeth Chomko, based the events of the film on her grandparents, Cliff Becker and Patricia Becker. Patricia had a career in geriatric nursing administration and, in her later life, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. A black-and-white photograph of the couple is featured at the end of the film's credits, along with the dedication: "For Pat & Cliff".

The pickup truck Bridget runs past and does a double take on has a sign on the door for Hoffsteader construction. Presumably a nod or subliminal homage to Douglas Hofsteadter, a notable cognitive science professor, and Hofsteadter's law which states that 'it will always take longer than you expect, even taking into consideration Hofsteadter's law.' Which is relative to the premise of the movie.

The books on Ruth's bookshelf are color coordinated.

Hilary Swank, Michael Shannon and Josh Lucas have all starred in a previous Best Picture winner. Swank starred in Million Dollar Baby (2004), Shannon starred in The Shape of Water (2017), and Lucas starred in A Beautiful Mind (2001).

The amount Gerry charges Bridget for changing the locks is $500. In the original screenplay it was $1500.

Popular Dialogues

"Nick: You know why they get better in memory care? Because they don't have people in their face all the time saying, "Don't forget me, please don't forget me, you're losing your mind". The one blessing of this disease is that they don't remember that they don't remember, until you go and tell them."

"Bridget: How do you always know what my problem is? Do I do that to you? Did I march in here and say, "She's going in a home, if you don't like it, go talk to a priest?" I listened to you, dad. I asked you what you wanted and I fought like hell to get it for you because you matter to me. What you want *matters to me*. Why don't I matter to you?"
