The Movie Choices:

“The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,” (2009) features and all-star cast, including: Golden Globe nominee Robin Wright Penn and Academy Award® winner, Alan Arkin. From all outward appearances, Pippa Lee (ROBIN WRIGHT PENN) leads a charmed existence. She is the devoted wife of an accomplished publisher (ALAN ARKIN) thirty years her senior, the proud mother of two grown children, and a trusted friend and confidant to all who cross her path. But as Pippa dutifully follows her husband to a new life in a staid Connecticut retirement community, her idyllic world and the persona she has built over the course of her marriage will be put to the ultimate test. Pippa must now confront both her volatile past and the hidden resentment of her seemingly perfect life in order to find her true sense of self.

Through comedic means, “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,” presents the complex portrait of the many lives behind a single name. Running time: 1 hour and 33 minutes.
