The American family has long been at the centre of the typical Hollywood narrative. But the depiction of the nuclear family within contemporary mainstream US cinema has not yet been closely studied. Home Movies addresses this oversight by assessing recent cinematic representations of the family in terms of cultural politics and representations of gender, sexuality, race and class. Focusing on a diverse range of popular films - from Meet the Parents to The Incredibles - Claire Jenkins analyses the father-daughter relationship within sequels and series; Meryl Streep's embodiment of the mother; the superhero family and extraordinary manifestations of the ordinary family; disaster films which depict the president as father; 'mom-coms' and Hollywood's representations of the non-traditional family. She combines film studies, gender studies and family history to demonstrate the complexities of Hollywood's family values.

Our Home Movies is a story about a storyteller - Marty Nyrop - on the edge of realizing an ambition that only a few obsessive individuals ever achieve. He's directing his first feature film and it stars Laura Trent-Sampson, a world-renowned celebrity. But instead of transforming his life with this dream-come-true, Marty's next move is to throw away his hard-won career by bolting from the movie set with the actress's newborn baby in his arms. What on earth has he done to himself? And to the child? By abducting the son of his negligent, emotionally destructive performers, Marty makes an irrevocable choice: no more actors for this baby he's suddenly claimed as his own, no more directing for himself, and so, as only a parent would fully understand, no more Marty entirely. He flees knowing only that he's determined to give this still-nameless child a chance in life that he and his brother, the child's father, never knew. Yet seventeen years later, he must fight for his now-teenage son's future again when Laura, the enduringly famous birth mother, suddenly reappears in their lives with her own reality-TV crew in tow, intent on undoing everything Marty has achieved as a father. Our Home Movies is a search for connection - with children, siblings, parents, and lovers - even as those connections are misshapen by the moviemaking process and its aftermath. It's about the desire for celebrity, the price of gaining business and creative power, the real-world meaning to be found in Romantic Comedy, the explosive synergy of an actor's need for approval twisted together with a director's need for control, all of it braided with an American character trait that insists we're entitled to reinvent ourselves. Each issue is bound up with the others to make Our Home Movies a worthy addition to the "Hollywood novel" bookshelf. Author Sherril Jaffe, a PEN Award winner and Professor Emerita of Literature and Creative Writing at Sonoma State University writes: Our Home Movies is amazingly accomplished. I am in awe at the intricacy of its construction and all that it offers to a reader - not just entree into what it's really like, in all aspects, to make a movie, but also how it gives a way for the reader to grapple with eternal conflicts: work and family, art and life, conflicts between brothers, unresolved traumas, the Japanese internment camps - and how there is a view into the adolescent skater world, a love story, a veritable course in film theory. Like a rom-com, the protagonist Marty wins the directorship, loses it and wins it again. Great themes emerge, doppelgangers merge into each other, and the past is redeemed by the future. By the end of the novel, I will have bonded with Marty on several fronts. Although the story has been about Hollywood and the making of movies, it has also been about the fact that parenting always involves an enormous sacrifice, about the incredible force that bonds one to one's child, and about how art reflects, redeems and resolves life, and so much more. I'm in awe at how the story is structured like a chiasmus; there's a great feeling of exhilaration at the end, its lovely final emotional moment leaves me utterly satisfied, as if all of my various parts had been exercised, all the conflicts of my life resolved, all the parts falling into place, the narrative so sure-footed and beautifully structured.

An Esquire Best Book About Hollywood A USA TODAY Best Book of 2021 “A lovely and loving book.”—Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club "I'm not sure I have ever read a book about movies that is as tender and open-hearted as Films of Endearment."—Mark Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Mike Nichols: A Life A poignant memoir of family, grief and resilience about a young man, his dynamic mother and the '80s movies they shared together Michael Koresky's most formative memories were simple ones. A movie rental. A mug of tea. And a few shared hours with his mother. Years later and now a successful film critic, Koresky set out on a journey with his mother to discover more about their shared cinematic past. They rewatched ten films that she first introduced to him as a child, one from every year of the '80s, each featuring women leads. Together, films as divergent as 9 to 5, Terms of Endearment, The Color Purple and Aliens form the story of an era that Koresky argues should rightly be called "The Decade of the Actress." Films of Endearment is a reappraisal of the most important and popular female-driven films of that time, a profound meditation on loss and resilience, and a celebration of the special bond between mothers and their sons.
