Starring: Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Viola Davis
Character mistake: After Father Flynn has completed his first sermon, Donald Miller comes into the dressing room and says "That was some sermon, Father." Flynn then says "Hi Jim". Jim is the name of the other altar boy. He should have said Donald.
Suggested correction: Flynn says "hey, Champ", not Jim.
Factual error: When Meryl Streep is walking outside and talking to Mrs. Miller about the potential abuses of her son, you can see a basketball court in the background and on the court is a 3-point line. The movie is supposed to take place in 1964 and the 3 point line wasn't introduced until 1979/1980. (01:10:20)
Father Brendan Flynn: You haven't the slightest proof of anything!
Sister Aloysius Beauvier: But I have my certainty! And armed with that, I will go to your last parish, and the one before that if necessary. I'll find a parent.
Trivia: Viola Davis was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Mrs. Miller, even though she's only in the film for 8 minutes.
