The Mother

Continuity mistake: After May and Darren make love he gets up and puts his pants on. We see him closing his belt, but in the next shot where his pants are visible the belt is open again. (01:09:40)

Continuity mistake: When May and Toots arrive at their children's house, Toots starts talking to Darren while May strolls outside. Between shots she moves from the middle to the far end of the lawn, while the conversation between the two men goes on continuously. (00:07:05)

Continuity mistake: When we first see May just after Paula punches her, she has a vivid purple bruise under her eye. She gets the train home that same day and when she is looking out of the window, the bruise can hardly be seen. Once she is home in bed that night, the bruise is vibrant purple again.

May: Oh, Darren. This cigarette's making my chest all congested. I can't breathe.
Darren: What would happen if you did breathe?
May: I'd say, would you... would it be too much trouble... spare rooms... would you come to the spare rooms with me... would you.
