Director Schrader previously spoke about the property and sang its praises. He told the Los Angeles Times, “It’s a house without a bad angle. Once you’re in the house, you’re just seduced by those stairs’
Meanwhile, journalist David Ng described the house as a piece of ‘architecture porn’
The highly anticipated production was hyped to perfection as a revival role for Lohan, whose career had been marred by a series of stints in rehab and prison.
Scott Foundas, chief film critic for Variety, previously spoke of Lindsay’s performance in the film, writing: “The big exception is Lohan, who gives one of those performances, like Marlon Brando’s in Last Tango in Paris, that comes across as an eerie amalgamation of drama and autobiography.
Lohan may not go as deep or as far as Brando, but with her puffy skin, gaudy earrings, and thick eye makeup, the former Disney teen princess has something of a lost girl that is very poignant.
“Whenever she’s on screen, she projects the feeling of barely holding on to that precarious slide area in the shadows of the Hollywood sign.”
While Lohan and Deen landed the lead roles, the Malibu mansion where their characters lived together also got its moment in the spotlight.

He told the Los Angeles Times: ‘It is a house without a bad corner.
“Once you’re in the house, you’re just tempted by those stairs. I’ve shot them four different ways and none are the same.’
Meanwhile, journalist David Ng described the house as a piece of “architecture porn.”
In the summer of 2012, director and crew filmed in and around the house for a week.

Nestled on a high lot in a canyon, the house was created by leading designer Vitus Matare
Matare purchased the property in 2006 for $1,000,000 and completed a major renovation. Over the years, he rented out the house and let director Schrader film there for free
It was last listed for sale in 2013 for $4,200,000, but the listing has been removed. Next to the main house there is a pool house and a detached studio
Photos from the ad reveal the property’s minimalist open-plan interior, with modern art adorning the whitewashed walls and oversized windows that let the view take center stage
From home it is possible to spy on the Catalina Island, the Channel Islands and the Pacific Ocean beyond
The listing says of the home’s lot: ‘This complex offers an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy the exquisite beauty of Malibu’s natural surroundings in a private and exceptionally peaceful setting’
