The Space Between Us picture

Factual error: In the scenes where Gardner is messaging his Earth based female friend Tulsa from his Mars home, their communication is shown as being in real time. In truth, there would be minimum of a 4 min lag between messages due to the distance. (00:24:00)

Suggested correction: The tech is supposed to be highly advanced. This is at least kept consistent throughout the film as all communication between planets is in real time.

There is no tech that can alter the laws of physics that we know of. The near future setting of the film limits the scope of what's feasible.

Phantom Thread picture

Factual error: When Reynolds is pulling up to the gas station headed to the countryside, you see a blue Michelin sign on the left against the gas station's building. The 'Michelin Man' logo style seen on the sign was not in use until the 2000s. The movie takes place in 1950s. (00:11:50)

Mary Shelley picture

Factual error: At the end, it is said that John William Polidori committed suicide due to not receiving credit for The Vampyre. This is not confirmed as the coronary report concluded the death to be natural despite evidence to the contrary. He was also plagued by gambling debts which caused him depression which may be a more (or equally) plausible reason for his alleged suicide.

Factual error: Emmanuelle Devos goes to the airport to get her husband and daughter. Their plane landed at 7 PM (18:58 to be precise) as shown by the airport monitor. They get a cab to a hotel downtown, and then there's a scene when she books a restaurant from the hotel room. She tells her husband, who just took a shower, that they need to be at the restaurant at 8 PM. Her husband says that there's no rush then, since it's only 7 PM. Of course that's impossible, the Turin airport is about 20km away from the part of the city they are driving through, which at that hour has also significant traffic; if their plane landed at 7, at 8 PM they would hardly have any time left to spare. (00:29:00)
