Private Life (2018)

Rachel (Kathryn Hahn) is 41. She's not fertile, and there is un underlying anger about that in her.  She thought she could postpone childbearing until almost 40 and really, there is no data to support that assumption.  It is how she wanted it to be, but it really isn't founded in reality. Richard (Paul Giamatti) is 47. He has j one testicle which is blocked. This is a terrible state of affairs for any couple, but a somewhat morose comic gold mine for actors who express frustration as well as these do. Rachel and Richard's obsession with child bearing distracts them from dealing with longstanding issues in their marriage, and maybe their careers as well. A kind of This Is What I Gave Up Parenting For situation.  Richard was once an acclaimed actor and theater impresario. He now runs a pickle-making company. Rachel is a writer who's trying to finish a new novel. She's finding it hard to stay focused . They know having a child is a long shot. They've tried various procedures and treatments and flirted with adoption and surrogates. They refuse to give up. Should they?  The answer is definitely yes, but they would disagree.
