Continuity mistake: In the beginning, at the Hollymade hospital, the nurse appears with a tray of cider in glasses. The doctor takes a glass and has a sip - his glass is about a third full - and then we follow the nurse as she leaves. When we go back to the doctor, his glass is now two-thirds full.
