Emma Thompson in The Children Act (2017)

Goofs

The Children Act

Edit

Factual errors

Throughout the film, her clerk and others address Fiona as 'my lady'; in reality they would simply call her 'judge'. 'My Lady' is a term of address used only in court.
As the transfusion begins, the needle and tube is inserted into the arm with several feet of air being in the tube, followed by the flow of blood. This would be lethal, as it would put air into the bloodstream.

Miscellaneous

Maye has a Fazioli baby grand piano in her home. The least expensive piano made by Fazioli has a price tag of $120,000.00. She clearly must have independent means or it would be impossible for a judge to be able to afford such a piano, especially considering her large and extremely expensive London home.

She also plays a Fazioli grand at the concert. Faziolis were introduced in the 1980s and, while being exceptionally well-made and extremely expensive, they are rare, which makes it odd to find one in both locations. This makes no sense for this story and is clearly a product placement.
In the judges home the French doors in scene during initial 'I'm going to have an affair' scene is obviously missing the strike plate from the pairing edge of the door when there is clearly a locking handle on the other door.

Character error

In the hospital, characters don't wear gloves, masks, shoe covers, head caps, etc.
