Shepherd, who played Joy White in the movie, told the New York Daily News:

It was a really good movie. It kind of frustrated me when joy was getting mad when Carlina was talking about the other woman. While i know she abducted her, Joy needed to realize that that was who Carlina was raised by and on some level, she loved her. I liked the fact that Carlina chose her own name instead if picking one or the other.
