Continuity mistake: In the scene where Justine's husband needs 'help' at the doctor's office, Justine is wearing a flannel shirt and overalls. Then, when she's back at work, she's suddenly wearing a multicolored sweater briefly for one scene (which is what she wears two days later during the day she talks to Holden's parents), then at the end of the day she's suddenly wearing the same flannel shirt and overalls. (00:57:45)
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the movie, there is a scene in a kitchen where you can see the microphone on a boom above the actors, almost out of camera range, but not quite.
Visible crew/equipment: Several shots in the movie show an employee in a manager's booth giving announcements over the store loudspeaker. In virtually every different shot you can see the camera reflected in the glass of the manager's booth.
Continuity mistake: In one scene when Justine and her husband are in bed together, after the affair with the kid has already started, you see her back and her husband's face. Her hair is behind her ear without any loose threads over her ear, then when it switches, back of him to front of her, her hair is in front of her ear. It keeps going back and forth like this throughout the whole scene.
Answer: I think you answered your own question. The only certainty is that Phil is NOT the father because of fertility issues, though he apparently deludes himself into believing that he has somehow gotten Justine pregnant.
