Continuity mistake: When Harry walks into the room carrying a photo album, there is a book with a photograph lying on it next to the dish of colored rocks. In the next shot, the photo has moved from the center of the book over to the edge next to the rocks. (00:44:00)
Continuity mistake: When Erika and Julian are talking in the kitchen "How are you holding up? - Me? - You." she makes a cup of tea and places the tea kettle on the stove. In the next couple of shots, the kettle moves from the right side to the left side of the burner. (00:35:55)
Continuity mistake: When Harry gets into the bed there are no eye glasses on the table on the left side of the bed. After they have slept for 8 hours and Harry and Erika have changed places the eyeglasses magically appear on the table. (01:09:35 - 01:10:15)
Continuity mistake: When a plate comes suddenly crashing to the ground, Erica is seen standing in her kitchen, above a white plate with a few bits of leftovers on that cracked plate. She is arguing with her sister about the "appropriateness" of the relationship between Harry and her daughter. As she bends down to pick it up, the plate is suddenly filled with red tomatoes and a heap of leftovers.
Answer: This sounds like it could an editing issue. Movies often film multiple scenes that, for whatever reason, are later deleted, but sometimes portions of those scenes are compressed into one sequence, even though there are obvious inconsistencies like wardrobe gaffs.
