The Private Lives of Pippa Lee*    

(US 2008)    

A retired publisher's young wife discovers she is having a nervous breakdown.

Self-indulgent tragi-comic drama with offbeat moments, unfolding like 90 minutes in the psychiatrist's chair, particularly with irritating constant flashbacks to childhood, but with some interesting guest star support.

w, d: Rebecca Miller, from her novel.

s: Robin Wright Penn, Alan Arkin, Blake Lively (as young Pippa), Maria Bello, Winona Ryder, Mike Binder, Keanu Reeves, Shirley Knight, Julianne Moore, Monica Bellucci.
