See it for the cast, if for no other reason

Pippa Lee, the young wife of a much older publisher, looks over the various stages of her life and tries to come to terms with her life and unhappiness.

This is a really good film with a top flight cast (Robin Wright Penn, Alan Arkin, Maria Bello, Winona Ryder, even Keanu Reeves) working at the top of their game. I don't think there is a bad one in the bunch. The script is literate and often hysterically funny (The material with Winonna Ryder provides some of the best laughs). Its a film that feels very real and alive, more so than many other recent ensemble pictures that Hollywood has been pumping out. I really liked this film.
