Winnie and Nigel are on the cusp of divorce and Sam, largely ignored by his parents because they have their own stuff going on, is basically biding his time until he can escape this emotionally frigid house and set off on his own. But Winnie is dedicated to impressing people and Nigel is dedicated to not pissing Winnie off, so they rattle around in this big, expensive house, trying to fill its largely vacant rooms with life.ĭespite Winnie’s efforts, though, their lives aren’t even close to perfect.
The house is more than they need, considering they, along with their son, Sam, are a compact family of three. Much like the social-media perfect families that capture adoration, Winnie and Nigel Crouch live in a stately Seattle home. In real life, some of these families are probably just as troubled as the one depicted in The Wrong Family, Tarryn Fisher’s end-of-2020 release. Their everyday lives are nowhere near as worthy of a place on your social media feed or a slot on the prime time television lineup. Even though, in our weaker moments, we may passively long for a similarly flawless existence, we all know that what happens behind closed doors is decidedly less rosy. But, just as the families of the past probably understood that the sublimity of sitcom families could never be matched in real life, we all know that these modern models of familial perfection aren't as flawless as their social media might suggest.
