- TriviaAlthough it resembles the look of film stock, the movie was shot with ARRI ALEXA Mini digital cameras with a special Angénieux 25-250 HR zoom lens. According to cinematographer Ari Wegner, shooting on film was considered but the limited budget didn't allow for it.
- Quotes
Jim Dunlop: Some people, they are the real people. Like in a movie, they're the ones you're watching, they're the ones making moves. And the other people, they're just there filling the space. And you take'em for granted. You think, they're easy. Take a penny, leave a penny. That's you, Eileen.

Not quite there
You would think of all the Moshfegh novels so far, maybe A24 Lapvona would be a slam dunk. Eileen... is a bit of an odd choice. I liked the book a fair amount, but almost all of my enjoyment was from the interiority of the character. I was kind of hoping this movie could actually make me like the book more.
Sadly, without the interiority and the alternate ending, this didn't quite come together in any very meaningful way, for me. It's serviceable in terms of the plot and alright with performances, but it lacks thematics and hopes to skate by on subverting the expectations of the audience, I think. Maybe that would have worked better for me had I not read the book? It still feels understated, quiet, and mousy to me, though. And the transition from Eileen's meeting of a particular character to the fallout feels unearned as a result, making it hard to buy into.
