Private Life (2018)

Private Life is a 2018 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Tamara Jenkins and starring Paul Giamatti and Kathryn Hahn, with Kayli Carter, Molly Shannon, John Carroll Lynch, Desmin Borges, and Denis O'Hare in supporting roles. The film focuses on Richard and Rachel, a middle-aged married couple of New York City creatives, desperately trying to have a child by any means possible. Private Life had its world premiere on January 18 at the Sundance Film Festival. It was released on October 5, 2018, by Netflix.

The two leading actors play the roles of a couple, Richard and Rachel, who are desperately trying to have a child after their natural processes fail. From IVF to adoption to artificial insemination- they try everything they can, but nothing seems to be working in their favor. They even go to the extent of asking Richard's niece to donate her eggs for their artificial insemination. The process becomes so emotionally challenging for our protagonists at that point that they decide to give everything up.

While it is natural for any married couple to yearn for a child, Private Life teaches us that it is much more important to be happy in whatever you wish to do in Life. Many people have several desires that they run after throughout the day. In the process, they don't realize that Life slowly passes by without them even noticing it once. It is something we should never allow to happen to ourselves.
