Continuity mistake: When George Clooney is deciding whether or not his family's land holding will be sold to a corporation, he is sitting with two of his cousins. From a front view, his cousin, Hugh, opens a book. Then the shot switches to a side view, and it shows Hugh still opening the book.

Trivia: When Matt King visits the house of his ancestors the camera pans over the furniture. There is a picture of the Union Jack, but it is upside down. (It's a common misconception that the Union Jack is the same either way up - the wider diagonal white stripe should be at the top left, or on top on the side of the flag nearest the flagpole).
