Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Kenneth Feinberg also administered funds for Virginia Tech, BP oil spill, and Sandy Hook—he's basically America's designated grief accountant.
Director Sara Colangelo intentionally avoided 9/11 footage; the film's power comes from faces reacting to absence, not the event itself.
