Revealing mistake: When Aurora sees Breedlove off at the airport they say good-bye and he walks through the door, which closes after him. After a few seconds she comes back to talk to him once more, and you can see through the tinted glass panes that he had been waiting right behind the door to come out again. (01:44:20)

Factual error: Aurora is considering giving Emma a painting by Renoir as her wedding present. The piece of art in question is certainly not painted by or copied after Renoir. (00:08:40)

Continuity mistake: When the drunken Breedlove tries to get out of the car he falls forward on the right side on his face. Therefore, he shouldn't have a bloody injury on his left cheek and a black stain on the back of his jacket. (00:19:50)

Visible crew/equipment: When Aurora sees Breedlove off at the airport and he comes out again, you see in his glasses the reflections of various people in dark clothes, but not Aurora who is wearing light colors and is supposed to be standing right in front of him. (01:44:35)

Continuity mistake: When Aurora and Emma are drinking tea on Aurora's bed Emma takes a sip. From the way she tilts the cup there should still be a reasonable amount of tea in the cup, but in the next shot she laughs and shakes the cup so hard that whatever was left in the cup would have splashed out.

Continuity mistake: When Emma and Patsy talk about her illness you see the NY skyline in the background. First the WTC is fully visible, but from one shot to the next it is half hidden in a huge cloud. (01:37:40)
