• All scenes featuring Joel Edgerton were filmed in 7 days.
• When Rebecca Hall's character is in the hospital, she is placed in room 237 – this is a reference to Stephen King's novel 'The Shining'.
• When Gordon stays for dinner, the amount of wine in the glasses changes drastically between shots, even after Simon tells Robin that Gordon no longer needs to be served.
• In one scene, Robin holds a sponge with the dark green side up; when the camera changes angle, it's visible that the sponge has already been flipped over.
• When Robin picks up the letter from Gordon again, where he writes that he is disappointed in his friendship with Simon, Simon returns home, and Robin hides the letter behind her back. With the change of shot, the position of Robin's hands changes, sometimes bent, sometimes straight.
• For the role, Joel Edgerton dyed his hair reddish-brown and wore brown contact lenses, hinting at the possibility that Simon's child might be his son. In reality, he has dark chestnut hair and blue eyes.
