Ro explained the film’s themes through her character, Carly. “She's very creepy, but she is convinced that she is really doing this to save the world,” Ro said. “And how many atrocities, and how many decisions, and how many awful things and fights and negativity, are we okay with? Or we're sharing, or we subscribe , because we think that we are in the right?”
She added some members of the film’s post production crew are addicts, and what moved them was watching the point of view of the different members of the family and what they feel. But at the same time, she said, the film also shows the pain of the addict.
