Blended families often fight over physical and emotional territory. Ordinary Love (2019) and Honey Boy (2019) touch on this tangentially, but the French film Custody (Jusqu’à la Garde, 2017) offers a terrifying version: a stepfather figure who becomes violently possessive. On the lighter but no less insightful side, Easy A (2010) features warm, witty biological parents who joke about their own pasts, yet the film contrasts them with a stepfamily narrative off-screen, showing how the presence of an ex-spouse can destabilize new commitments.
