* CreatorBreakdown: Aster has stated that the inspiration for the film came from a three-year period where he and his family went through a series of hardships so intense that "the feeling prevailed that we basically must be cursed." From there, he started to envision what story could be told if [[spoiler:a family went through a similar period of tragedy because they actually ''were'' cursed]]. He has remained steadfast in refraining from publicly discussing that time in his life and its connection to the film in any further detail, noting that he was "more pulling from feelings than experiences."

* EnforcedMethodActing: [[spoiler:Creator/AlexWolff offered to break his nose for real in the scene where Peter slams his head into a desk, but Aster respectfully declined and told him they would be using a soft, cushioned foam desk. When he arrived on set to shoot the scene, Wolff realized that the desk he'd be using was in between both of their ideas -- only the top half was foam, and the bottom was ''very much'' hard. For added pressure, there were only two desks made, so he had only two takes to get it right. The extent of Wolff's injuries reportedly included his nose getting damaged, blood gushing down his knee from hitting the desk, losing his voice, being unable to move his arm, and his ankle swelling, so all things considered, the extreme pain you see Peter in afterwards is coming from a ''very'' real place.]]

* MethodActing: Alex Wolff stayed in character as Peter to some extent on set, with Aster referring to him as Peter. Aster also sent Alex out with Milly Shapiro to complete a number of tasks in character, which reportedly included them going out to eat only to sit for up to three hours in silence while Milly wouldn't speak and Alex would try to get her to talk.

** The rough cut of the film ran over three hours. According to Aster, most of the deleted footage was dialogue exchanges between the family.

* WordOfGod: [[https://variety.com/2018/film/awards/hereditary-ari-aster-answers-burning-questions-1202841448/ According to]] director Ari Aster, [[spoiler:Charlie has in a sense been DeadAllAlong, the "real" Charlie having essentially been displaced since birth and her body used as a vessel for Paimon the entire time.]] The film hints at this, including [[spoiler:how out-of-character and bewildered she seems to be when Annie channels her during the seance]].
