Big Little Lies Video: Cast Discusses Complexities of Parenthood

Big Little Lies definitely has glitz and glam, but it also never shies away from talking about the difficult and heartbreaking aspects of life. Whether it’s abuse, infidelity, death, motherhood, or anything in between, the series does a great job of peeling back the layers.

In this video, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley come together to discuss the complications of parenthood and how it’s reflected on the show.

“One of the things I like about this piece is the blame delivered into Mary Louise’s lap for the sins of her son. That is something that women take on, the blame, as a default setting,” Streep says. Watch the clip above to find out what they all have to say about it.
