Corrected entry: When Faith and Hope meet at the summer camp, they are supposed to be identical twins. Even though they look very similar (possible fraternal twins) you can tell the actresses who play them are not identical twins. Hope has an obvious cleft in her chin but Faith does not.
A Simple Favor (2018)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Paul Feig
Starring: Anna Kendrick, Linda Cardellini, Blake Lively, Henry Golding
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the teacher asks "Has Nicky's mom volunteered?" The guy answers "Emily?" with his arms down his hips, but he had his arms folded across the chest just in the previous shot. (00:03:50)
Emily: Did you just take my picture? Erase it.
Stephanie: I guess I'm not the kind of person you're normally friends with.
Emily: Oh, you don't want to be friends with me, trust me.
Trivia: The protagonist browses the archives of local newspapers to research more into the fire of May 3rd 2003. The news at the very top right of the front page, by the title "Town treasurer celebrates his re-election after disputed elections" features a mugshot of the director of the movie, Paul Feig. (01:20:25)

Correction: Hope and Faith, at age 16, are in fact played by identical twin sisters (Nicole and Lauren Peters). The phenotypical expression of a cleft chin can depend on environmental factors.

I guess I should have been more specific as to when they meet at the summer camp. I am not referring to when they were 16, but when they met at the summer camp as adults when Faith killed her sister by drowning her and ditching her car. The actresses who played the adult twins were obviously not identical twins.

According to IMDB, Blake Lively played both adult twins, so the above makes no sense.
Unless I missed something, Blake Lively plays both Faith and Hope in the scene. There are not two actresses, just the one. Feel free to reply with the name of the actress who played Faith so I can see what I missed.
