Trivia: The director of the film, Peter Jackson, has a cameo in the film. He is the bum that Juliet grabs and kisses as the two girls run out of the theater.
Trivia: The location in which Honora is murdered was the actual place the real murder happened. Apparently, when the crew went to the exact spot where the murder happened, the atmosphere felt really eerie and birds stop singing. They felt it wouldn't be right to film there so moved a little further down the path.
Factual error: When Pauline makes her first entry into her 1953 diary, the date at the top of the page is January 1, Thursday. Later in the film when she begins her diary for 1954, the date on the page is January 1, Thursday. The same date in two consecutive years cannot be the same day of the week, they are a day apart (2 in a leap year). In actual fact, 1 January 1954 was a Friday. (00:24:20 - 01:03:45)
Pauline Parker: I felt thoroughly depressed and even quite seriously considered committing suicide. Life seemed so much not worth the living and death such an easy way out.
Honorah Parker Rieper: Love, you can still write to each other.
Pauline Parker: Anger against Mother boiled up inside me, as it is she who is one of the main obstacles in my path. Suddenly a means of ridding myself of this obstacle occurred to me. If she were to die.
