Trivia
Actress Aryana Engineer, who plays Max, their completely-deaf biological daughter in this film, is mostly deaf. She has Cochlear Implants which enhance her abilities to hear and speak.

Goofs
When Esther is introduced to her new class, she is holding a Nelson Spelling book. These books are not used in the United States, where the film is set; they are, however, used in Canada, where filming took place.

Quotes
Esther: Please... don't let me die, Mommy!
[holds knife behind her back, preparing to kill Kate]
Kate Coleman: [pause] I'm *NOT* your *FUCKING MOMMY!*
[she violently kicks Esther's head]

Crazy credits
After the end title sequence, the rest of the credits are, among other things, smeared and splattered with fluorescent paint, lipstick kisses, and Esther's violent artwork. A small heart is also painted next to "John" (Peter Sarsgaard) in the cast list.
