- Acclaimed Flop: The film received critical acclaim upon its release, holding a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes with most critics in particular praising the strong performance from actress Danielle Deadwyler, but the film only grossed $11 million against its $20 million budget.
- Creator's Oddball: Co-produced by Barbara Broccoli's Eon Productions, aka the house of James Bond (they've produced almost nothing but Bond films since The '60s).
- Dawson Casting:
- Danielle Deadwyler was 39 turning 40 during filming, six years older than Mamie was during the real-life events. Also applies to Hayly Bennett, who was in her early thirties, compared to Carolyn who was in her early twenties when she accused Emmett.
- Averted with Jalyn Hall, who was fourteen years old when the movie was released, the same age Emmett was when he was murdered.
- Dueling Works: The second of two 2022 live-action works about Mamie Till-Mobley's pursuit of justice for the racially-motivated murder of her son Emmett, the other being the ABC Mini Series Women of the Movement.
- Produced by Cast Member: Whoopi Goldberg is one of the film's producers and she has a role in it.
