December 3, 2009Amongst the big late fall and winter releases is the quiet American release of "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee", an engaging drama with a terrific female-driven ensemble. Robin Wright Penn is the title character, and her work here could be considered a potential darkhorse for an ...( read more)

November 22, 2009Witty, charming, raw and comical, "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" struck me for being *real*. It captures the messiness and the complexity of life but isn't a downer; you don't feel like you're in search of Zoloft afterward. I really liked it!

November 16, 2009I must say, even though it's not a fascination, I'm an admirer of Rebecca Miller's work. She's a bold filmmaker who doesn't fear to take on difficult themes, always demanding viewer's full attention, in exchange respecting one's intelligence. "The Private Live of Pippa Lee" may b...( read more)

January 22, 2010Alan Arkin is one of my all-time favourite actors, and who can resist Keanu Reeves doing an off-the-wall cameo? This is the first time I've noticed Blake Lively in anything... will be interested to see how she develops as an actor :)

I was interested in the characters and situations, but I was not absorbed. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Wright gives the title character a complexity and emotional shading often missing in this kind of ensemble comedy/drama. full review

August 3, 2009Interesting 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. -
