Audio problem: Before Lotte chases Maxine through JM's subconscious she tries to shoot her in the office. Her movements while she aims and the sound of the shot are totally uncoordinated. (01:33:30)

Question: When I originally saw the film at the Midway Theater in Forest Hills, New York there were so many errors, I thought they were part of the movie. There was shaky cameras, boom mics shown in the frame, extras walking around, and lighting devices in frame. I’m not talking once or twice, it was throughout. I ended up leaving. Has anyone ever heard of this?
