The idea for this film came to Michael Mohan after visiting a friend's new place in Los Angeles, looking out the window and spotting a couple in their apartment across the street, walking around naked.
When asked about her nude and sex scenes in this and Euphoria (2019), Sydney Sweeney said she's not afraid to go there as an artist, arguing that she's willing to do whatever the work requires of her, as long as it serves a purpose. But it angers her that "pervs and trolls" are constantly screengrabbing her nude scenes and tagging her family members, including young cousins, which she said "sucks."
Sydney Sweeney told Elle magazine when she saw this for the first time, she wondered if she'd done too much nudity. So she researched celebrities who have done nude scenes, trying to make herself feel better. She said there are hour-long compilations of world-famous male actors with nude scenes who win Oscars and get praised for that work. But, according to her, the moment a woman does it, it degrades them. They're not actresses. They just take off their tops so they can get a role. Several people posted on social media after her interview that a vast majority of actresses who have won Oscars for Best Actress and Supporting Actress since 1970 have appeared nude onscreen; more than the men.
According to the director Michael Mohan he's already sketched out what a possible sequel would look like.
The view from Pippa's L'Optique office would indicate that it was filmed high up within 1250 boulevard René-Lévesque, a 47-storey skyscraper in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates for IBM Canada and Marathon Realty, hence the former name "IBM-Marathon Tower". Through Pippa's eastward-facing windows can be seen the dome of Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral and, further to the right, the CN (Canadian National) office building located above Central (railway) Station.
