Review of Private Life (2018) by Pomattovich — 04 Oct 2018

Tamara Jenkins’ long overdue return is a hilarious & devastating depiction of modern child conception. Kathryn Hahn is outstanding & Giamatti is the most on brand since Sideways. Great support from Molly Shannon and John Carrol Lynch as well.

I love both of Jenkins' other two films and have long lamented her absence. She is so great at mining from life experiences that almost anyone can recognize and relate to, while still crafting carefully plotted stories filled with humor that never feels forced.

Hopefully this will be a big hit and Netflix will give her a ton of money to make another film sooner rather than later! I love this film, I adore Jenkins and I hate that we've only gotten 3 films from her in 22 years.
