Annie Baker, the playwright-turned-filmmaker, mentioned that watching 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' had a retrospective influence on her film 'Janet Planet'. While 'Janet Planet' was not directly influenced by the mother/daughter story of 'Furiosa', Baker appreciated the film and acknowledged an impression it made. She also drew inspiration from Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's portrayal of motherhood and female relationships in her work. 'Janet Planet' explores the dynamic between mother and daughter, played by Julianne Nicholson and Zoe Ziegler, with a hands-off directorial approach and an emphasis on capturing natural performances.
