Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

June Millington, who plays Jane, co-founded Fanny in 1969 — the first all-female rock band to release an album on a major label. Her casting bridges real revolutionary history with fictional rebellion.

Insight

The film was shot in 2015 and shelved for two years, accidentally making its political spouse narrative even more prescient in the Trump era. The low TMDB rating reflects obscurity, not quality — this is genuine cult material.
