The Hours (2002) - 10 mistakes

Continuity: When Virginia has kissed Nelly she leans her forehead against Nelly's forehead. When it cuts their heads are away from each other.

Continuity: In the beginning when Virginia comes down to talk with her husband she takes the kettle with her left hand while holding her right hand in her pocket. When it cuts she is suddenly holding a cup in her right hand.

Continuity: When Laura comes down and her son and husband are having breakfast, there is a cup on the table on the opposite side of where her son is sitting. When it cuts to her husband saying, "Morning honey" the cup is gone.

Continuity: When Dan is about to leave for work we see Richie leaning on the table with his arm. When it cuts we see him in the background but he isn't leaning on the table.

Continuity: After Richie helps his mom sifting the flour, specks of flour appear and disappear on his cheek. (There shouldn't be any actually the way he held the sieve.)

Continuity: When Laura Brown's son and husband are eating breakfast, watch her son's bowl of cereal (I think it's corn flakes with sliced bananas). As the scene progresses, the amount of corn flakes in the bowl grows and lessens, banana slices disappear and reappear, and the spoon changes positions several times.

Continuity: When Laura and Kitty talk in the kitchen, at the point where Kitty reveals that she has a growth in her uterus the arrangement of things on the kitchen counter changes. The most obvious change is the position of the flour bag, which is turned by 90 degrees.

Continuity: The scene where Virgina sits down on the trunk where her niece has bedded the dead bird on a leaf there some inconsistencies. Virginia is holding four or five roses in the hand. She breaks one blossom off and puts it down on the leaf (we don't see where exactly, though). Then the camera cuts to her upper body, and she is apparently not doing anything with her hands, but in the next, wider shot only one rose is left in her hand. Then, in a close up of the bird we see no roses at all. Finally, in the last shot of the scene she is seen putting three blossoms around the bird which were not in her hands when we saw them last.

Continuity: When Virginia Woolf is at the train station trying to go to London, the clock at the station reads 5:20. It progresses naturally throughout the scene as if care were taken to make it seem natural. However, when her husband arrives, his wrist watch is in clear view and reads 9:30.

Continuity: When Mr. and Mrs. Woolf have their heated discussion at the train station, the bangs of his hair constantly change between three different looks: all messed up, messed up with one separate strand hanging down and neat and parted over to the left.
