The film is rated 67 Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes based on 70 reviews. David Gritten of The Telegraph observedButtressed by a formidable cast . . . Miller navigates her story between sharp satire, dark comedy and wrenching drama. Pippa feels like a character from films of an earlier vintage, including Diary of a Mad Housewife and The Graduate however she is less of a rebel than Housewifes protagonist and more nonconformist than Mrs. Robinson. Hints and traces of a playful, late 1960s mood abound. Yet Millers film is a triumph. Uniformly well acted, it boasts a psychologically knowing script, clearly written by a smart, assertive human being rather than a software programme. ........
