The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee is released in US cinemas today! It seems to be a very limited release though, and you can see the cinemas it is showing at here. If you do get a chance to see it then go, and let us know what you thought of the film and Maria’s performance!
Here are a couple of review tidbits I’ve just come across:
“Maria Bello once again pushes the envelope as Pippa Lee’s emotionally volatile, pill-popping mother, whose mood swings eventually force the teenage Pippa Lee to flee to a lesbian aunt in Manhattan.” – nypost.com
“But the best performance, next to the nuanced and evocative portrait painted by Wright, is that of Maria Bello. She plays young Pippa’s charismatic but deeply diet-pill-addicted mother. It’s a particularly fearless performance.” – usatoday.com
Remember that the DVD is already out here in the UK, so European fans can enjoy it from the comfort of their own homes. I’ll be adding screencaps very soon.
Stay tuned for more updates here at Maria-Bello.org this weekend!

Well this will be a rare treat for us Maria fans! Ms Bello will be on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson next Tuesday (November 24th). This is presumably to promote Pippa Lee, which is released in North America next Friday.
I’ll be on the lookout for a video of this the day after, so stay tuned for coverage then…

From Blake’s new interview with Marie Claire (US):
On her first day on set with Maria Bello: “I was honestly terrified. I hadn’t slept that much, and all I wanted that day was for Maria to say, ‘Wow, great job.’ And when she didn’t say anything to me, I thought, Oh, my gosh, I’m terrible. She hates it. She’s calling her agent, saying, ‘What have you gotten me into?’ But once we finished filming, she was so complimentary and sweet. The way Maria worked was very method, and then [costar] Julianne Moore was the complete opposite — between takes, she was a nice, normal mom talking about her kid’s baseball games.”

LET us now praise famous women. Rebecca Miller is the daughter of Magnum photographer Inge Morath and playwright Arthur Miller. She is married to the actor Daniel Day-Lewis. She has been a painter and an actress; she has now written and directed a movie based on her own novel but, of course, it can’t be any good. Children of famous people rarely have any talent of their own, right?
Well, not exactly. Rebecca Miller confirms with her fourth feature that she’s one of the more intelligent and sensitive writer-directors working in American movies. Who cares who her father is, or who she married? It’s verging on insulting to even mention it, except that it may help a little to interpret this movie.
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is so grown-up, it’s scary. It’s the kind of movie that is almost extinct – an intelligent, emotional drama that’s confronting, surprising, elegant and still funny. It has given Robin Wright Penn one of the best roles of her career and she’s not the only one. Keanu Reeves, Maria Bello, Alan Arkin and Winona Ryder all have small but memorable roles. A movie with a cast this good is rare; even rarer that all of them have something interesting to play. I don’t wish to over-praise it. It’s a quiet movie about a woman going a bit crazy. What plot there is happens mostly in Pippa Lee’s head. It’s a little static and mannered but I didn’t mind. Wright Penn so dominates the film that I was content. I loved having this access to a woman’s thoughts and fears.
