The Private Lives of Pippa Lee Ratings & Reviews
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
A feel-good film, both disconcerting and rewarding on all fronts.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
As a woman under the influence of everyone but herself, Pippa often feels lost when she's on her own - a blank slate with no one holding a chalk - Robin Wright Penn allows us to get to know a character who still doesn't really know herself.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
There's a deliberate quality to the storytelling that makes the movie drag in many scenes; and yet, numerous characters flit by that we don't have time to really meet.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
... for once in a [Rebecca] Miller film, the chuckles are generally intentional ...
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Penn is such an intelligent performer that it's easy for us to believe everyone else in the film sees a different side -- a different life -- of the enigmatic Pippa Lee -- and that there are still many other sides to this fascinating character...
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
A superb performance by Robin Wright Penn illuminates Rebecca Miller's intelligent and revealing look at the inner wild child beneath a 50-ish Connecticut matron.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Robin Wright Penn gives an award-caliber performance in the title role of a woman trying to find her place in the scheme of things after moving with her older husband to a retirement village in suburban Connecticut.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
All the midnight bulimic binges, suicide attempts, sleepwalking, marital chicanery, and little pills don't mean a thing compared to the thrill of being a middle-aged woman sneaking through the bedroom window like a teenager in heat.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
By turns antic, frantic, and dull, Pippa Lee is unconvincing -- emotionally, dramatically, filmically.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
I think there's something going on here that does feel novelistic, but it feels to me a little like real life. I think Penn makes it worth seeing.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
I was interested in the characters and situations, but I was not absorbed.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Miller never really fleshes out all of these colorful characters in her emotionally facile script, leaving the heavy lifting to the actors. Fortunately for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, Wright is more than up to the challenge.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
Pippa should be a career changer. Wright Penn's cards are finally on the table, and it looks like a full house.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Pippa's crisis of guilt -- about troubled lives she couldn't fix and parts of her personality she rashly abandoned -- is ultimately swamped by Miller's own sketchy grasp of what's funny or heartbreaking or illuminating about her characters.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Wright gives the title character a complexity and emotional shading often missing in this kind of ensemble comedy/drama.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
In this densely populated ensemble piece, Reeves stands out as the only actor whose damaged character evokes sympathy and avoids cliché.
AV Club
Noel Murray
For a movie about the unpredictability of life, Pippa Lee plays it awfully safe.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Pippa Lee is conceived as a portrait of a woman's long-delayed emotional blossoming, but its dopey, privileged-set fantasy winds up as obvious as crawling through Keanu's open window.
