Who is Celeste Wright in Big Little Lies?
The perfect marriage, behind closed doors · The Monterey Five-ish
Celeste Wright (The perfect marriage, behind closed doors) is a character in Big Little Lies, part of The Monterey Five-ish. Celeste Wright is the one the other mothers envy: the lawyer who left a brilliant career for twin boys, a cliffside house, and Perry — younger, gorgeous, devoted, the couple so beautiful people stare. What happens between them behind closed doors is the series' dark center, told with unbearable precision: violence braided into passion until Celeste herself can't find the seam. Her sessions with therapist Dr Reisman — being walked, question by question, toward naming it — are the show's finest hours.
