    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to director Charlie Kaufman, Netflix pushed back against the film's 1.37:1 aspect ratio because they were concerned that viewers would think there was something wrong with their TV.
    • Goofs
      With the snow storm going on during most of his shift, the janitor would have had more of an accumulation of snow on his pickup than the amount (a little more than a dusting) that he quickly brushed off after his shift.
    • Quotes
      • Young Woman: It's tragic how few people possess their souls before they die. Nothing is more rare in any man, says Emerson, than an act of his own. And it's quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. That's an Oscar Wilde quote.
    • Crazy credits
      There's a post-credits scene.
