Synopsis
The Perfect Family (La familia perfecta, 2021) is Arantxa Echevarría's Spanish comedy-drama, ready to watch online on iFILM. A woman who built her life around the flawless family meets her future daughter-in-law, and the whole thing cracks.
Lucía (Belén Rueda) believes she has everything under control: the model home, the model husband, the model kids. Then her son brings home Sara (Carolina Yuste), a young woman who speaks her mind, lives without apology, and whose own family is the opposite of everything Lucía ever wanted. Slowly she's forced to admit the perfect family was never quite what she imagined.
After the hard-hitting drama Carmen y Lola, Echevarría switches to a light but sharp-toothed comedy about snobbery and a mother's grip. Belén Rueda walks the line between farce and very real hurt. Spanish cinema for a night when you want to laugh at other people's family pretensions — and maybe your own. Stream The Perfect Family (2021) online on iFILM.
