Goofs
When Amanda is choosing the destination country for her trip, there is no actual Polish flag next to the name Poland in the menu, but a pattern that looks somewhat like an Austrian flag flipped 90 degrees.

When Amanda is drinking her hot chocolate with marshmallows with Graham and the girls, she gets her milk mustache. The milk is small mustache in the middle. In the very next shot, when she hasn't drunk any more, the mustache is large and covers the length of her top lip. Then in the next shot it is small again.

Quotes
Iris: I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.

Amanda: You know, I was just thinking why would I ever leave before New Year's Eve? That makes no sense at all. I mean, you didn't exactly ask me out... but you did say you loved me... so I'm thinking I've got a date. If you'll have me.

Iris: Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years and she's never explained anything to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant.

Q
How does it end?

Amanda begins to worry about long-distance relationships. On the way to the airport, she begins to cry for the first time since her parent's divorce. She runs back to Iris' house to find a crying Graham and decides to stay, for a while, at least. At Arthur's honorary evening, Miles asks Iris to go out with him for New Years Eve, but she would already be back in Surrey. Miles decides to come along with her, and all four with Graham's daughters spend New Year's Eve together.
