The film, shot in British Columbia, Canada, aired on Lifetime on July 18, 2011.
The production was criticized for being too lacklustre, possibly because Rowling had no say in the product. It does shed some light on her personal life and featured scenes such as her highly abusive first husband and the death of her mother.
Poppy Montgomery reportedly wore blue contact lenses to play the role of the highly influential author.
Though the British accents are convincing, the movie is clearly made for a US audience; Rowling's agent advises her to find an "attorney" (not a solicitor) and her father advises her to change her "major" (rather than her "subject").
