Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'orphan train' reference is historically accurate — over 250,000 children were relocated from Eastern cities to Midwestern foster homes between 1854 and 1929, often with minimal oversight.
Director Brandon Slagle specifically chose Minnesota for its 'bleak winter isolation' to mirror Rose's internal state; the convent was a repurposed historic property with no heating during the November shoot.
