Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The film was not well received by critics on release, and its writer Simon Mirren suggested some of the response was because he is Helen Mirren's nephew and the producer Taylor Hackford was her partner, so he was seen as a nepotist given a "helping hand".
- G:MT - Greenwich Mean Time was one of the final projects of the jazz trumpeter Lester Bowie; the film's music also draws on electro, R&B, acid jazz and jungle artists including Talvin Singh, Hinda Hicks, Tricky and Imogen Heap.
