Director-Actor Reunion:
Director Stephanie Laing once again reunites with Rose Byrne for this project, building on the creative bond they formed while filming Physical. Laing and Byrne bring a sense of genuine authenticity to this film. Their chemistry is exactly why the story feels so grounded and real.

Incredible Lineup of Talent:
The movie features an incredible lineup of talent and rising stars for an independent film. The cast includes Rose Byrne (nominated for Best Actress for her role in the film If I Had Legs I'd Kick You), Octavia Spencer (Academy Award winner), Ariana DeBose (Academy Award winner), and Dominic Sessa, the breakout star from The Holdovers (2023) and Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025).

A Speedy Production:
It’s amazing that the entire movie was filmed in only 19 days. Even though they were on a tight schedule and a small budget, Rose Byrne noted the rush actually helped the film. It made everything feel more real and urgent, just like the character's race against time to get her car back.

Real-Life Connection:
The real Amanda Ogle was very involved in making Tow and is even listed as an executive producer. This ensured the film remained "grounded and authentic" to Amanda's actual life experience. Also, when the movie ends, you can see real footage of Amanda and her daughter during the end credits.

A Perfect Critical Score:
After its first screening at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, the movie earned a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics love how it handles tough topics with surprising humor and warmth, instead of just focusing on the seriousness of the story like many other dramas do.

Fashion Against the Odds:
If you look closely at Amanda’s outfits, you’ll notice lots of pink bows and bright colors. Even though she was homeless, the filmmakers included these details because the real-life Amanda used fashion to hold onto her personality and self-respect while living on the streets.
