* Another interesting one about the finale: Chloe mentions that Jimmy's film is a pastiche of Creator/NicolasRoeg's ''Film/DontLookNow'', in which Donald Sutherland's character is killed when the person he thinks is a child (his daughter who drowns at the start of the film) turns out to be a murderous dwarf, wearing a similar coat. In Film/InBruges, [[spoiler:Harry dies when he shoots Jimmy, a dwarf who he also thinks is a child dressed in a similar uniform to the boy Ray killed -- and who is playing a murderous dwarf who actually ''does'' turn out to be a child.]] On a more general level, both movies are also about people traveling in a foreign city trying to deal with grief and guilt.
