White Oleander

Astrid tries to make a deal with her mom.. that if she (mom) tells the truth why she killed her boyfriend, then Astrid will lie for her in court. Astrid's mom talks about how when Astrid was very young, she left her for about a year at some woman's house and that Astrid's dad is an artist and he came back asking for Astrid when she was 8 years old. At the trial, Astrid isn't asked to testify and Astrid's mom goes to prison, meaning that she now lets Astrid live her life. Astrid moves to New York with Paul Trout and two years later, in a magazine, she reads an interview about her mom.

Factual error: When Michelle Pfeiffer is typing in commands into Barry's computer to delete all his files, the commands she types in wouldn't do anything but return an error message. It's clear the computer input was tamed down to make it easy to understand for anyone who has never even been near a computer. (00:24:00)
