    • Trivia
      The young Linda is seen with posters of George Harrison (executive producer of this movie) and David Bowie (star of director Nicolas Roeg's hit The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)) on her bedroom wall.
    • Goofs
      After being confronted by Martin (Gary Oldman) during her attempted (pseudo)-suicide by drowning herself in the pool, Linda Henry (Theresa Russell) exits the pool for the very first and only-ever time and there is plainly seen a trail of dripping water leading from where she is exiting the pool over to where she is retrieving her towel, clearly left over from a previous take of the same sequence just moments before.

    5/10
    Interesting but unsatisfying film.
    Yet another indecipherable movie from director Roeg; it plays like a puzzle that is never solved. Definitely not uninteresting, because of the unique nature of the plot, but so muddled and inconsistent (for example, a seemingly imaginary character interacts with other people as if he really existed) that it's not likely to satisfy many viewers. One or two (intentionally) funny scenes help. Extremely offbeat performance by Gary Oldman. (**)
