“The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” by Rebecca Miller (2009)
(accomplished) Movies directed by women
The work of Rebecca Miller (4/5)
Excellent direction and gender content
The relationship between an adult and a child is a main aspect of this movie, just like that of Rebecca Miller’s preceding one. The child’s guilt is not always central but often mentioned.
Other recurring themes: a dysfunctional mother, running away, insanity along the mother line, crucial mother-daughter relationship, strangely unobtrusive role of the fathers (except in “The Ballad of Jake and Rose”)
The best Rebecca Miller movie until now / Fantastic female lead!
