Factual error: Benjamin leaves his family at some point after his daughter's first birthday (1970), and definitely before her second birthday. But a 1973-1977 El Camino is parked in front of their house as he rides away on his motorcycle.

Factual error: When Benjamin comes back to visit Daisy at her dance studio, she says that their daughter is 12. Her first birthday was in 1969, so that makes the current year 1981 or 1982, but their family car is a 1986 Jeep Wagoneer.

Continuity: When Daisy, now in her 20s, is dancing for Benjamin at night, after their dinner, in a gazebo, she's dropped her coat right by her shoes approximately in the middle of the gazebo. They can be seen as dark silhouettes near Daisy's feet. Cut to a long shot, the pile has moved to her right, way off center. Cut back to a medium shot and it has returned to its first position.
