- Adaptation Displacement: Justified in this case since not only does the source novel have a different title, it hasn't been published in English.
- Award Snub: Puzzlingly, it did not get a nomination for Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards, despite Isabelle Huppert getting a nomination for Best Actress.
- I Am Not Shazam: The main character's name is Michèle, not Elle. "Elle" is the French word for "she" or "her"; the English title is just the French one untranslated, likely to avoid confusion with the 2013 film Her.
- Les Yay: Michèle and Anne in bed.
- Squick: The rapist texts Michèle saying he likes that she's wearing a cream-colored blouse because his semen stains won't be noticeable on it, then later sneaks into her house, ejaculates on her bed and leaves a message on her laptop saying he couldn't help himself.
