5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, just excellent, July 20, 2009
By elisa cibrario "TV connoisseur" (long beach, new york USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introducing the Dwights (DVD)
considering the awful state of american movies today (compared to the explosion of thought-provoking, culture-changing films of the '70s and '80s), thank goodness countries like england and australia still insist on making unique, frightfully well-acted, all-around terrific movies, probably on the same budget hollywood studios use for tom cruise's doughnuts on set. movies like this, and stunners like 'secrets and lies,' 'the last executioner,' 'strange bedfellows'(the hilarious predecessor to adam sandler's flop 'i now pronounce you chuck and larry'), 'ladies in lavender,'and too many more to list now, make movie watching a pleasure again.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Undiscovered Gem, July 25, 2008
By Thespiansf "thespian" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introducing the Dwights (DVD)
This funny, touching and thought provoking film is an Australian coming of age film, which surely is one of the best independent films of the past year. When one thinks of a coming of age movie, it typically involves an angst ridden teen, and while the excellent Khan Chittenden plays that role, it is Jean Dwight, portrayed by Academy Award nominee Brenda Blethyn, who truly comes of age. Emma Booth is a revelation, and the earnest and authentic Richard Wilson completes the ensemble cast.

Brenda Blethyn turns in a bravura performance, as a stand up comedienne and single mother, struggling to balance her desire for the footlights with one foot firmly planted in smothering her children's maturation. After seeing this film, and laughing and crying, I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Australian or British tragicomedies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful comedy, July 17, 2008
By Susana Nunez (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introducing the Dwights (DVD)
This is a delightful movie. I love it! The situations may be a little bit bizarre, but it's not the typical American movie. This Australian film has a sweet and sour humor that anyone would enjoy. I truly recommend it.
