- Awesome Music: House of Woodcock
, Full stop. It is remembered as one of the best movie themes of 2017 for a good reason. - Award Snub: Some felt that Vicky Krieps was worthy of a nomination but got jack squat. The film's cinematography also did not receive an Academy Award nomination, but due to the lack of a credited cinematographer, there was no way it could get nominated.
- Diagnosed by the Audience: Reynolds' behavioral patterns bear a striking resemblance to those found in people with Asperger's Syndrome. He is obsessively committed to his work and relies on a carefully constructed routine to get through each day, becoming irritated whenever it is interrupted. He has No Social Skills and is averse to being in large crowds. He is also hypersensitive to sound and small details. There's also his willingness to be poisoned by Alma a second time, which indicates some level of masochism on his part. Some have also speculated Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as he exhibits an anxiety caused by his routine needs not being met — the main issue not shown in films that depict the disorder.
- He Really Can Act: Many reviews have given considerable praise to Vicky Krieps with critics seriously impressed that she was able to hold her own opposite Daniel Day-Lewis.
- Memetic Mutation:
- "Maybe you have no taste."note
- Similarly, "Are you a special agent sent here to ruin my evening, and possibly my entire life?◊"
- "I simply have no time for confrontations."
