It seemed to me that Giamatti was going to dip his wick with Lydia at her party, but then she gave some other dude a "little" smooch. Was it her brother or an uncle? Giamatti should have swung for the fences there.
I also liked the long skirt and the violet top, she gave a Barbara Feldon vibe.
I noticed that myself. Paul had a crush on Lydia for a while, but he was too wrapped up in his intellectualism to make the move (or else he would have done it earlier).
I loved her violet turtleneck and vintage skirt, too. It's too bad she only wears it in two short hallway scenes.
It was fairly obvious that the guy she smooched was her boyfriend. She greeted him with more than a smooch, and Giamatti character knew his chances were zilch.
shareIt was her boyfriend and in this regard the film seemed true to life to me. Our hopes for Mr. Hunham rose and were dashed along with his.
