Plot hole: Sarah breaks a mirror in frustration by throwing something against it. Then she buries her face in her arms and sobs. It remains a mystery how she managed to cut her hand so bad that it needed to be fixed with five stitches, as she isn't even seen picking up the pieces. (00:59:15)
Trivia: Marlee Matlin won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role of Sarah Norman. At the age of 21, Matlin became the youngest winner in the Best Actress category in Academy history.
