Continuity mistake: Sylvie just managed to dodge Mary's questions about the fact that she's obviously hiding something. The convo shifts on the topic of Meg's father and the possible passing of the torch; Annette Bening's right hand constantly moves between holding one arm of the shades or the glass in the reverse shots. (00:14:30)
Continuity mistake: When Sylvia goes to Eddie's apartment to take her to Mary's lunch and she knocks the number on the door is 10C, inside the apartment it changes to 1. (00:06:40)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Annette Bening does a Robocop-like scan of the store. She then pulls up her sunglasses. Just before the cut, she pulls her hand back, but in the next shot the glasses are further back in her hair. From there she walks in and a clerk offers her a "facelift in a jar." Watch on the left part of the lane, two women (black short hair, mid-length grey hair) walk in the opposite direction and are already past the clerk. In the next shot, they walk again past the clerk only after a couple seconds and in a different pattern. (00:03:20)

Continuity mistake: Mary Haines is putting on hospital scrubs and removing her jewelry. While she's removing her earrings, she still has a gold bracelet on her right wrist when she puts them in her purse. She never takes off the bracelet; however, when her wrist is shown again, the bracelet isn't on her wrist. (01:44:02)
Continuity mistake: When Meg is eating sugar, chocolate and butter, between shots the sugar jar's cover is on and then off, and another container vanishes.
