Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Greta Gerwig and director Daryl Wein were dating during filming; they co-wrote the script with Zoe Lister-Jones in ten days. Art imitating life imitating art.
This bombed in 2012 but predicted the 'sad girl summer' aesthetic—Gerwig was doing 'Fleabag' energy before Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a BBC budget.
