Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her

Continuity mistake: When Christine comes to Dr. Keener's door her hair is parted in the middle. The camera shows her from behind when she walks in, and we can see that the front hair is tied back over the parting, also in the next shot when she sits at the table. Then, after she drinks a glass of water, her hair is loose again. (00:08:10)

Continuity mistake: When the homeless woman tries to enter the bank the security guard closes the door on her twice. (00:37:25)

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Keener is in the garden with her mother the phone rings. When she answers the call her bangs are pushed to the side in all wide shots, but in all close-ups three neat strands are hanging over her forehead. (00:04:00)

Audio problem: When Rosa walks over to Albert's house at night the door falls close just before she gets there. The closing sound can be heard before the door slams shut. (01:04:05)

Continuity mistake: During the tarot session, when Dr. Keener takes her mother back to her room, Christine's hands are in her lap. When Dr. Keener returns Christine is leaning forward with her hands on the table. The camera cuts to Keener, then back to Christine, and she's sitting back again, and we can tell from the way she moves (without seeing it, however) that she takes her left arm again from under the table.

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Keener feeds her demented mother the old woman is looking into her daughter's eyes. When the camera angle changes she is looking to the side, then, when it changes back, again into her eyes exactly the same way as before. (00:03:45)

Continuity mistake: When Kathy puts make-up on Carol before the date that won't happen a strand of hair keeps appearing and disappearing over Carol's left ear. (01:24:05)

Revealing mistake: After the abortion Rebecca walks back on a sunny sidewalk. When she waits at a pedestrian crossing she and the signal post next to her cast shadows in totally different directions. (00:43:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene with the homeless woman her headgear keeps changing between shots, either with or without a long string hanging down from the loose end of the cloth. (00:21:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rose wants to bring Albert a flower pot and he doesn't answer the door she sneaks into the garden. When she peeks around the corner a brick column next to her appears and disappears between shots. (00:54:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On her first encounter with the homeless woman Rebecca gives her a cigarette. A few seconds later, when the woman asks Rebecca if she is the bank manager, the cigarette is gone from her right hand, then, after a coughing fit, she lights another one of Rebecca's cigarettes. We don't see her dropping the first cigarette, and if she had she would certainly have picked it up or at least said something about it. (00:20:25)
