Continuity mistake: When Tommy Lee Jones is testing Sally, she throws plastic canisters at the window in the interview room. Jones has one in his right hand which he wags back and forth. Brief cut to back shot of Jones, and he is drumming the fingers of his right hand on his left arm. Then cuts back to him wagging the canister. (00:01:30)
Ruth Matthews: We all go a little crazy sometimes, Doctor.
Jake Beerlander: Yes, Ms. Matthews, but most of us come back.

Correction: The moon is, in fact, not always a crescent. It is shown as crescent to depict the imagination of Sarah, and ultimately her mother. In the scene when the tower is completed, for instance, the moon is, in reality, a full moon, and is shown as such several times. The film alternates between crescent and full in this scene to switch back and forth between the shared imaginary moon, which is crescent, and the real moon, which is full. The next morning, the crescent moon is shown as becoming full.
