Florence Pugh said she loved her nude scenes in this film. Pugh reflected on her breakout role during an interview for Britain's ES Magazine and admitted the part "changed everything" for her. "I loved the fact she was naked all the time. At that point in my life, I had been made to feel shit about what I looked like and that film was perfect. There was no room for me to feel insecure."
Filmed on location at Lambton Castle, County Durham and Northumberland, United Kingdom.
Shot in just 24 days. This essentially meant that William Oldroyd had only 3 hours to complete each day's takes.
