Private Life 2018

Kathryn Hahn and Paul Giamatti both give amazing performances in this, give us characters that feel real, lived in, natural, and flawed. Their interactions and reactions to the various trials they face in trying to add another life to their family may sometimes be cringe-worthy, but they always feel real. You get a great sense of the arduous hurdles that some couples must go through in order to expand their family. However, this film stumbles a bit in that it meanders in places and feels a bit overlong. In the hands of lesser actors, this could have went off the rails, but Hahn and Giamatti keep you in it.
