- TriviaShaun Dooley, who played Jon in this movie, has some experience with disruptive teens. He starred as Greg, an ASBO in the British Channel 4 drama Episode #3.8 (2011)
- GoofsWhen Bonnie the Rottweiler sneezes over Jenny (during the beach scene), Brett the animal's owner, shouts "come here girl". Either he's thicker than thick or the Rottweiler has an identity crisis because it is clearly a boy dog.
- Alternate versionsIn order to get the "Not under 18" rating from the FSK, the German video releases were cut approx. by 2 minutes. An uncut version was later made available in Germany with SPIO/JK approval. Only in 2022 was the uncut version granted a "Not under 18" rating following its deletion from the SPIO/JK index list.

Featured review
Breaks you down
I can't remember the last time a film evoked such raw emotions in me. I'm literally teared up and shaking - from anger, pain, frustration and disbelief. Watching this film is an experience more than words can describe, it plays on pure emotion. You're sucked into the whole atmosphere, to the characters - both the good and the bad -, and it really eats you up and leaves you with this bundle of emotions that catch you off guard and in the end, leave you empty-handed.
I'm sorry for not being very precise about the plot and the characters, but I simply can't write an ordinary "this film opens with..." review, the experience was just too much.
I highly recommend it, but not for the weak-hearted.
