Polley, who is Canadian, was in Egoyan's Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter, so that's another reason why her name was brought up. I think someone here loves that film you mentioned.

Didn't they use a body double for Lohman at least during the "Alice" scene? I couldn't help thinking that as I was watching the film because of the way the shots were cut. 

Not sure, but thanks for ruining it.
