Continuity mistake: Just as the moderator finishes asking Lydia "Do you have a slight self-consciousness about the incredibly varied things that you've accomplished", he places his right hand on the armrest, but when the shot cuts, his right hand is over his lap. (00:09:25)
Continuity mistake: When Lydia is saying "We don't call women astronauts, astronettes", she has her right hand placed on the armrest, but when the camera switches angles, her right hand is on her lap. (00:10:08)
Lydia Tár: You want to dance the mask, you must service the composer. You gotta sublimate yourself, your ego, and, yes, your identity. You must, in fact, stand in front of the public and God and obliterate yourself.
