1. Executive Summary Modern cinema has increasingly moved beyond traditional nuclear family portrayals to reflect contemporary social realities. Blended families—where at least one parent has children from a previous relationship—now serve as rich narrative vehicles for exploring themes of loyalty, identity, grief, and resilience. This report examines how films from the past two decades (2005–2025) represent step-relationships, co-parenting conflicts, and the emotional labor of forging new kinship. Key findings indicate a shift from comedic stereotypes toward nuanced dramedies, a growing emphasis on the child’s perspective, and the influence of diverse cultural contexts. 2.
