Trivia: Local Chadds Ford artist Andrew Wyeth's works were used as inspiration for the look of the film. In fact the house shared by Joaquin Phoenix and Sigourney Weaver was a copy of the one that appears in a Wyeth watercolor painting titled "Open Shed". (more)

Goofs: Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Alice is explaining to Lucius what happened to his father she says his body was found two days later floating in the river. In the voiceover towards the end of the movie she said his body was found three days later. (more)

Quotes:
[first lines]
August Nicholson: Who'll pinch me to wake me up? Who will laugh at me when I fall? Whose breath will I listen for so that I may sleep? Whose hand will I hold so that I may walk?
