The movie's digital release came just a few days before Noma, an iconic fine dining restaurant in Copenhagen (Denmark) whose traits (locally sourced ingredients, an exclusive clientele, and an aura of rigidity and formality) likely inspired or at least parallel Hawthorne, announced that it would close down. A linked article incidentally mentioned criticisms of Noma for mistreating and underpaying its workers, much like the oppressive work environment of Hawthorne's kitchen, although this problem is a pervasive one throughout the food industry. Some even claim that the movie's eerie similarities with reality may have been the final straw for the controversy-plagued Noma. This makes the finale, where the restaurant and everyone in it is destroyed, a slightly uncomfortable parallel.
