The film was on the ``Best Films'' list of over 20 national critics and was nominated for a Spirit Award for Best Screenplay by Savoca and Guay. Savoca cast many favorite New York City actors for the film which was shot in DeLaurentis/Carolco (now EUE Screen Gems) Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina. The film reunited Lili Taylor with Savoca, with whom _she_'d previously worked on Dogfight, and Vincent D'Onofrio, with whom she'd appeared in 1988's Mystic Pizza. <sep>, Pronoun: she <sep>, A: Lili Taylor <sep>, B: Savoca
