Directed by: Stephen Frears
Starring: Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Helberg
Continuity mistake: When Florence ends her Valkyrie routine she raises her head; angle changes and it's back to lowered, and she raises it again.
Question: Bayfield and McMoon buy every copy of the New York Post in their neighborhood and throw them in the trash so as to not upset Florence if she ever found out the truth of what people thought of her singing. Wouldn't this have been a waste of time, especially if somebody just came right up to Florence at any time and told her what they really thought of her singing?
Answer: They had no way of knowing whether or not someone would do that, but they did whatever they could to keep her from reading the bad reviews.
