- TriviaWhile Paul Raci (who plays Joe, the founder of the deaf rehab facility) isn't actually deaf, both his parents were. He is a prominent figure in the deaf community as a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) and a member of Hands of Doom, a band that performs in ASL.
- GoofsThe doctor early on in the film states that cochlear implants are not covered by insurance. This is not true. Most insurances, Medicare and almost all states' Medicaid plans cover them. Also the rehab and programming ("mapping") of the implants takes several months and many visits with the implant team.
- Quotes
Ruben Stone: Like, what does it matter? What does it matter? It just passes. Yo. If I disappear, like, who cares? Nobody cares, man. Seriously. Yo, and that's okay. That's life. That's life. No, for real. Okay? It just passes. It just fucking... fucking passes.
Joe: I wonder, uh, all these mornings you've been sitting in my study, sitting, have you had any moments of stillness? Because you're right, Ruben. The world does keep moving, and it can be a damn cruel place. But for me, those moments of stillness, that place, that's the kingdom of God.

I also want to point out that there's absolutely nothing wrong with a person with hearing loss getting implants if they choose to and they shouldn't be shamed for it. But, it's also okay if you don't want implants, nobody should make you feel bad about either choice.
