Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Joanna Rakoff has noted the film softened Margaret's harshness and invented the boyfriend character entirely.
Salinger famously sued to stop publication of his letters; this film exists in delicious tension with that legacy.

This is a great film. A jewell. Very simple and less pretencious, good actors and a great script. Margaret Qualley in a great performance. Great movie!

She's a good actress, I don't remember her name but have watched a cpl of good movies where she did quite good. Working with Sigourney must've helped her too
