Throughout the film, Diane Keaton skillfully communicates in sign language, a skill she honed since her role in ‘Looking for Mr. Goodbar’ (1977), where she played a teacher for deaf children.
Writer and director Thomas Bezucha rehearsed with nine actors chosen for the roles of the Stones for several weeks before filming, so they could get to know each other well enough to convincingly portray a family on camera. They also underwent an accelerated course in learning American Sign Language (ASL), as eight of them had to communicate with Tadeusz or translate his statements. And although some critics, as well as members of the film crew, admitted that their command of sign language was below average, the depiction of a middle-class family forced to use sign language for understandable reasons ultimately came across as quite authentic on screen.
Filming began on February 28, 2005.
