Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was shot during peak COVID lockdown, explaining its claustrophobic single-location conceit—Murray literally performed opposite disembodied voices piped through earpieces.
Released months before the 'Girlboss' cultural reckoning, it inadvertently interrogates whether female ambition narratives require likability—a question the film aggressively refuses to answer.
