    Interesting movie. The story is sometimes a little bit boring, but the acting is really great.
    I think The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee is a bit a sad movie, like for example French movies often are as well, and I don't like that very much. But that's just my opinion.
    It's not a masterpiece, but definitely a beautiful movie.
