If you loved Private Life, try Slums of Beverly Hills

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Tamara Jenkins, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Private Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Slums of Beverly Hills is

Here's a film that knows its title is funny. A 1970s teen deals with her volatile, peripatetic family, as they skirt around the titular wealthy enclave for cheaper rent. It's a suitably small-scale story, all things considered.
