Continuity mistake: When Sebastian is talking with his sister in his apartment, the clock on the wall strikes 2:55, in the next shot it strikes 10:50.

Audio problem: Seb and Mia are watching "Rebel Without a Cause", and the scene shows Jim Stark driving up the ramp to the observatory. The music playing at that moment is the original track from that movie, but it is not synchronized properly with the visuals. (00:51:06)

Sebastian: I'm letting life hit me until it gets tired. Then I'll hit back. It's a classic rope-a-dope.

Trivia: At the Oscar ceremony in 2017, the film was accidentally named Best Picture, instead of true winner Moonlight, when presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were accidentally handed the wrong envelope. Such a gaffe had never occurred in the Oscars' history before.

Question: I may have missed this, but early in the film, how did Mia and Sebastian get into the empty planetarium? It must have been locked up pretty tight. Did someone let them in? Did they break in? I'm guessing this was explained and I didn't catch it.

Chosen answer: The answer is, "It's a movie." They wouldn't have been able to drive up to the entrance either. The entire sequence is fantasy-driven.
