Production
In June 2022 it was revealed that Johansson and Scott Thomas were working together on a new film that was set to be Scott Thomas first directing role.[3] That same month Miller, Pinto and Beecham were added to the cast.[4] Filming of a wedding took place on location in Hampshire at St. Mary's Church, Ashley in June 2022 whilst Johansson was reported to be filming Naval scenes on the HMS Prince of Wales in Portsmouth.[5][6][7]
Principal photography was reported as being completed by the end of July 2022, with Scott Thomas being quoted as saying she found the experience "exhilarating" and that it was "thrilling to create this fictional family using my own childhood memories as a springboard."[8][9] The film marks the third time Scott Thomas and Johansson have played mother and daughter, following The Horse Whisperer (1998) and The Other Boleyn Girl (2008).[10]
