An interesting portrait of a couple who tries everything to fulfill their dream and become parents but forgetting what their relationship is all about in the process. A very personal film that handles about a very personal topic, wonderfully put in scene and written by Tamara Jenkins who finally presents us a follow up project after "The Savages" and it is just as realistic and natural. To make a rather sad and to some extends tragic story a dramedy thanks to very well chosen comedic moments was the right decision. She found two great actors who both know how to do drama and comedy and the mix of that. Paul Giamatti absolutely shines and gives one of his best performances in ages. The quality of his performance goes back to his "Sideways" days. Kathryn Hahn once again proves her talent as one of the most underrated versatile actresses of her generation. Glad she got to show her acting powers in such a juicey role. John Caroll Lynch also gets to show that he not only can plays psychopaths and losers. Molly Shannon is wonderful in a supporting role and commands every scene she is in. Another great performance by another great and underrated actress.Kayli Carter is a great new discovery and she will go places. An intimate portrait of a marriage that is put to a test. Absolutely recommendable.

"Private Life" is a Comedy - Drama movie in which we watch a couple trying many fertility therapies in order to get pregnant. Their relationship gets a lot of pressure and they both have to work harder for it.

I liked this movie because it presented a very sensitive subject for a lot of people. The plot was simple but very interesting and contained many intense moments. He direction which was made by Tamara Jenkins who is also the writer, it was very good and she presented very well her main characters and made possible for the audience to understand what they have been through and even relate to them. The interpretations of both Paul Giamatti who played as Richard Grimes and Kathryn Hahn who played as Rachel Biegler were exceptional and they made the difference. Lastly, I have to say that "Private Life" is a very interesting drama movie and I recommend you to watch it.

You may wonder what some people have to fight with. A couple who wants to have kids. Seems simple enough. But then you have to account for different things: the age of the couple, if they want to adopt or "make" a baby themselves. And then everyday drama and stress begins, with many relationships being strained.

Now that may not sound enticing to you and that would be ok. But if you like dramas in general and like real life portrayed in film, this is a little gem of a film. Funny, sad, inspiring, draining, annoying, uplifting ... many things you and the characters will go through. Brilliantly acted out by everyone involved. And what a great ending ... not going to be liked by everybody - but then again you couldn't please everyone anyway.
