The Private Lives of Pippa Lee



As usual Robin Wright Penn, is understated yet so powerful in her role as Pippa Lee. It's so rare not to be disappointed when seeing a film after having read the book, but in this case it was just a perfect adaptation of Rebecca Miller's novel, probably because it was adapted and directed by Rebecca Miller herself. An interesting story, beautifully shot, sensitively acted. There's a great cast in this film, including Alan Arkin, Julianne Moore, Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves but thankfully not a hint of 'Hollywood' about it! Really worth seeing. Watch the trailer here and an interview with Rebecca miller here.
