Plot hole: Sarah breaks a mirror in frustration by throwing something against it. Then she buries her face in her arms and sobs. It remains a mystery how she managed to cut her hand so bad that it needed to be fixed with five stitches, as she isn't even seen picking up the pieces. (00:59:15)
Children of a Lesser God (1986)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Randa Haines
Starring: William Hurt, Piper Laurie, Marlee Matlin, Philip Bosco
Continuity mistake: When the ferry with James lands the windshield wipers on his truck are positioned at an equal level. When we see the car going up the driveway to the school, one wiper is higher than the other, and when he arrives at the school they are at the same level again. (It goes without saying that it isn't raining and they aren't used.) (00:03:55)
James Leeds: I can't ever get close enough. Say my name, just once, say my name.
Trivia: Marlee Matlin won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role of Sarah Norman. At the age of 21, Matlin became the youngest winner in the Best Actress category in Academy history.
