David Gordon Green expressed that the inspiration for Nutcrackers stemmed from his genuine relationship with the Janson siblings, who he found immensely charismatic and charming.
Nutcrackers marks Ben Stiller's return to lead acting after a seven-year hiatus from film, during which he prioritized directing acclaimed television series like Severance.
The film embodies a nostalgic feel reminiscent of old-fashioned live-action family movies, as it explores themes of familial bonds and the struggle for belonging.
Green's relationship with the sibling actors influenced his return to indie filmmaking, pivoting away from his recent studio horror projects to tell a heartfelt story.
