The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee (2009 Rebecca Miller & scr)

Robin Wright (Penn) (who seems to look completely different from one film to the next and is here also playing her conflicted mother), Alan Arkin, Maria Bello (young Pippa), Zoe Kazan (the daughter; star and writer of Ruby Sparks), Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves, Monica Belluchi.

Nicely judged and executed, e.g. dream / sleepwalking scene. Though when Keanu reveals his Christ tattoo in van, your immediate thought is "That must be distracting". Sure enough, two minutes later, Robin is coming with her face in the Christ face, and I thought that was too weird. If it's religious, it's ... controversial, and if it's Buñuelian, it seems to be in the wrong movie?
