Everything Will Be Fine
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
From Diego Luna comes EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE (a.k.a. Todo va estar bien), a Mexican dramatic comedy about an estranged married couple trying to live together for the sake of their daughter. Julia (Lucía Uribe) and Ruy's (Flavio Medina) marriage is over, but they are committed to co-parenting their daughter, Andrea (Isabella Vézquez Morales) and want to ensure that she doesn't get caught in their strife. But while they pretend to get along under one roof, Andrea is very aware of what is going on. Watching them trying to navigate the impossible situation is their live-in housekeeper Idalia (Mercedes Hernández).
Is It Any Good?
This well-written series explores the complexities of marriage, and how difficult it can be when it all falls apart. It shows the different ways that former couples navigate their new situation, and the challenges that come when one moves on from the relationship faster than the other. Meanwhile, it is through the eyes of Andrea, Julia and Ruy's grade school-aged daughter, that viewers can see the impact of her parents' well-intentioned efforts to keep her out of the fray. Everything Will Be Fine doesn't offer easy answers to the very real problems presented here, and it isn't very funny. But it's a solid, engaging narrative that's worth sticking with until the end.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about what happens to families when marriages fall apart. Why do you think it may be hard to leave a marriage, even when it's gone bad?
How does Everything Will Be Fine address the difference between marriage as a romantic relationship and marriage as a legal contract? Does it take a position one way or the other?
