Corrected entry: Towards the beginning, Kevin Spacey walks in on Petal changing clothes, asking her if her friend had left. Petal is pulling on a tight pair of blue jeans. A second later, she walks out into the hall and she's now wearing a leather miniskirt.

Directed by: Lasse Hallström
Starring: Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, Julianne Moore, Kevin Spacey
Continuity mistake: When Quoyle and Bunny sit at the table in their yard talking about life and death, there is no space between their bodies. In one shot one can see their backs as a reflection in the window, with a gap of about 10 inches between them. (00:16:00)
Billy: It's women that's shaped like leaves, and men fall.
Trivia: Kevin Spacey put on about 25 pounds for the role of Quoyle.

Correction: Petal doesn't leave immediately: she puts the pair of tight jeans on (08:48), then, because she cannot button them up, she pulls the jeans off (09:10), then she puts the leather miniskirt on (09:24) and she leaves after meeting Bunny and opening a can of beer (09:44). More than a minute passes between trying on the jeans and leaving in a miniskirt.
