Manchester by the Sea

Factual error: He goes to the shop at night (after 2am) to purchase alcohol when the fire happens. There is nowhere in any of the surrounding areas you can purchase alcohol at that time. Even if he drove to Boston and back (which would take 2 hours not the 30 minutes stated) I still doubt he could purchase alcohol at that time. It's not legal in Massachusetts.

Continuity mistake: Lee arrives at the hospital and his brother raises his hand to wipe out his runny nose. When the angle changes the hand is lowered.
