The movie took eight years to make and, at one point, due to precarious funding, Kate Winslet (who also produced the movie) paid the entire cast and crew’s salaries for two weeks. The film made its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2023. It will be released theatrically in the United Kingdom by Sky Cinema on 13 September 2024.
