    • Trivia
      For the scenes where the dogs appeared to be dead or dying, the animals were actually heavily sedated under the careful eye of the Mexican SPCA. Multiple dogs that looked like one dog seen on screen were also used, so that the same dog was not under sedation for more than half an hour and not more than once a day at a time.
    • Goofs
      For photos taken for the 2nd time in the photo booth, El Chivo is wearing the brother's black sportcoat, yet when he subsequently pastes the photo in the album, the sportcoat appears distinctly burgundy in color.
    • Quotes

      El Chivo: At the time, I thought there were more important things than being with you and your mom. I wanted to set the world right, and then share it with you. I failed, as you can see.

    • Crazy credits
      To Luciano: Because we also are what we have lost. Special Thanks to: "Abba, Pater"
    • Alternate versions
      The following are from the deleted scenes on the DVD:
      • An alternate ending where the camera is outside the house where El Chivo was holding the two business partners hostage and two gunshots are heard.
      • A comedic and tender scene between Daniel and Valeria which would have come shortly after Valeria returned from the hospital. Valeria wakes up Daniel in the middle of the night to help her get to the bathroom.
      • A conversation between Daniel and Valeria in their apartment where Valeria reveals to the audience that she had an abortion.
      • A brief scene where Octavio bursts into Susanna's mother's apartment searching for her.

    A tribute to the self-destructive nature of mankind

    Nothing in this film happens for no other reasons than bad decisions taken from the depth of the most negative emotions of our species. It's a portrait of how brilliant we are at just doing harm to ourselves while also having an impact on the lives of the people around us. A very good film, with good storytelling, good acting, good photography and good musics, which is a tribute to human unease.
