If you loved Private Life, try The Savages
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 The Savages is
Apparently family can be a real drag. A sister and brother care for their ailing father. It somehow makes their dysfunction feel almost normal.
