Trivia
In an after film Q&A, director Michael Sarnoski revealed the pig only had three days of training and bit Nicolas Cage multiple times. After a particularly nasty bite, Cage joked: "I've been set on fire, I've been in flipped cars but it'll be sepsis from a pig bite that kills me."

Goofs
When the characters are talking about Mt. Hood and looking at it in the distance, the mountain is shown as being beyond the west hills of Portland. In reality, Mt. Hood is east of Portland. The mountain in the film is CGI.

Quotes
Rob: We don't get a lot of things to really care about.

Crazy credits
After the song that Lori has recorded for Rob ends, one can hear nature sounds, someone digging for truffles, and a pig.

"We don't get a lot of things to really care about."

What a beautiful movie. Not everyone is going to love it, I've seen some of the reviews here, and frankly, they didn't understand what the film was going for. Seldom has there been such a raw portrayal of love and caring for the things that really matter, and decluttering life of all the unnecessary BS. A film that doesn't treat it's audience like idiots, letting you paint your own picture while still wholly understanding the message. Reserved and much more than skin deep, Nicolas Cage delivers a painfully Oscar-worthy performance. Go and see this movie!
