Little Fires Everywhere Trailer
Reese Witherspoon puts on her best lipstick and pearl necklace to play the most upper-middle class suburban mother, playing alternately patronizing and haughty wonderfully in theLittle Fires Everywheretrailer. But that facade is slowly broken byKerry Washington’s newly arrived artist, whose daughter takes warmly to Witherspoon’s family. I’m not exactly sure what is happening other than that basic premise, but the trailer for the Hulu limited series is intriguing, hinting at both family’s harboring deep secrets that threaten to blow up their peaceful suburban existence.
I haven’t readLittle Fires Everywhere, but I was a fan of Ng’s debut novelEverything I Never Told You, a delicate domestic drama about a mixed-race family whose relationships become fractured after a tragedy. Ng has the ability to turn suburban drama into a truly compelling story, and I trustLittle Fires Everywhereis more of the same.
