The Private Lives of Pippa Lee

I wasn’t planning to write about this one, but I did watch it and I keep thinking
about it, so figure I should. I’d never even
heard of it until a friend recommended it to me because he thought I’d like it
– and he was right. It’s one of those
movies that reminds you that everyone has a “story” to their life and reasons
why they are the way they are and how they’ve gotten to the point they are in
their lives – even if it’s nothing like you would ever imagine just looking at
them. Which leads us to Pippa. She’s married to a much older man and they’ve
moved to a retirement community, where she seems kind of lost and seems to be
reflecting on her life. Maybe it’s a
little mid-life crisis/nervous breakdown/looking for “herself” that she seems
to have lost through the years type of thing or maybe has never truly found? Whatever it is, we get to see a glimpse of
her “private lives” from birth all the way to where she is now – all of her
struggles with her own mother, her daughter, relationships – you feel like you
“know” her and experience every up and down along with her as they get bigger
and bigger in her life. I don’t want to
say too much, so I’ll stop there.
I’m just glad I watched this one.
