    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      During rehearsals, the cast was encouraged to bring in music they believed their characters listened to. Then, to encourage familiarity among the cast, there would be a dance party where the only rule was that everyone had to dance and it didn't matter what the song was.
    • Goofs
      Dorothea is variously depicted discussing her stock portfolio with her son Jamie, quoting NYSE share prices in decimals, doing this in 1979. However, the switch to decimal from fractional stock prices in the U.S. did not occur until the year 2000.
    • Quotes
      • Dorothea: What is that?
      • Abbie: It's The Raincoats.
      • Dorothea: Can't things just be pretty?
      • Jamie: Pretty music is used to hide how unfair and corrupt society is.
      • Dorothea: Ah, okay so... they're not very good, and they know that, right?
      • Abbie: Yeah, it's like they've got this feeling, and they don't have any skill, and they don't want skill, because it's really interesting what happens when your passion is bigger than the tools you have to deal with it. It creates this energy that's raw. Isn't it great?
