Good American Family (Disney+)
A Midwestern couple who adopts what they believe is
little girl with dwarfism. As they begin to raise her
alongside their three biological children, falling into
a battle fought in the tabloids, the courtroom and
ultimately their marriage. Ellen Pompeo
never disappoints and is playing her part meticulously
well, but I'm also impressed with Imogen
Reid's depiction of Natalia Grace. The fluctuations
between vulnerable, innocent child, seeking love, and
unhinged (potentially older) woman seeking to cause
relational rifts in the family, are enough to give the
viewer whiplash.
