Corrected entry: In the scene where Astrid meets her caseworker for the first time, there is a shot showing her sitting on the floor by her bed with her bare legs tucked in close. However, when the doorbell rings, she jumps up immediately and runs to answer it, now wearing jeans.

Continuity mistake: When Astrid and Claire visit Ingrid in prison, two kids are seen running towards them from behind. Before the camera angle changes from facing Astrid, both kids are still behind her. However, when it shows the backside of Claire and Ingrid in the next shot, the two kids have already passed all three of them. (01:06:25)
Astrid: Looks don't interest me.
Paul: That's easy for you to say, you've never been ugly.
Trivia: In the book, Astrid felt a lot of guilt about Ingrid's work at the magazine, feeling she was the reason her mother couldn't "be free." After hearing the Annie story, it is obvious who put that idea in her head. (So, we are shown a quick scene of them while Ingrid works.) Astrid also felt guilty when she outgrew her shoes, always waiting until they fell apart, then choosing the cheapest pair she found.Thus, the shot of her at school starting with a look at her blue flip flops and panning up to her face.

Correction: In actuality, Astrid is wearing jean shorts in the first place. You don't see them when she sits, you only see her knees, because they're shorts.
