quite good but quite strange and disturbing in parts

Not quite as good as the novel, but still enjoyable. It's a good solid drama, good acting, with a little humor thrown in at times.

Director Miller does a wonderful job of juggling the tones of drama and comedy. Miller gets terrific work from her ensemble cast. Robin Wright is front and center as Pippa Lee. She gives one of her most complex and moving performances. There are some flaws in the juggling of the story lines, but the cast and Miller's sharp dialogue are able to carry the film. Maria Bello impresses as Pippa Lee's unstable mother. She is riveting to watch. The film is ultimately a fascinating portrait of a woman learning to take ownership of her life.

Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Blake Lively, Robin Wright Penn, Monice Belucci, all mixed into 1 movie with complex story.

Robin Wright Penn is excellent as always, constantly making us think we know Pippa until the actress conveys such ambiguous tendencies that we are gleefully lost in this character. Because the film focuses so much on her, other parts of the film seem under-developed, particularly those regarding the relationships between characters played by Arkin, Ryder, and Belluci. They all give fantastic supporting performances, but they do the best with their underwritten material. Still, "Pippa Lee" is an interesting work that maintains an illusive yet somewhat bright tone while garnering strong performances.

I liked the performance of Robin Wright Penn but the movie didn't satisfy me

Robin Wright Finally proves she can do Lead Roles. I enjoyed her persona in the film, and how the story started and finished. The Mom was quite a character, aunt was Awesome, even though i wished they showed more of her, Monica Belluci surprised me, ... (read more) Robin Wright Finally proves she can do Lead Roles. I enjoyed her persona in the film, and how the story started and finished. The Mom was quite a character, aunt was Awesome, even though i wished they showed more of her, Monica Belluci surprised me, i was like WF! Winona Ryder was Hilarious and a character you like but hate. BLAKE LIVELY is more matured and more respected after taking this role, overall it came out to be a film i enjoyed in the end
