Anyone who's ever had a mom should relate to Introducing the Dwights.
An Australian drama about family loyalty, unrealized ambitions and the inevitability of the human sex drive, "Introducing the Dwights" is funny, painful, sweet and insightful. It's a small, personal film, but it's big in terms of how universal it is.
More than most films that are populated by supposedly everyday folks, Introducing the Dwights feels like a story about real people living in an ordinary world. Brenda Blethyn ("Lovely & Amazing") plays Jean, a divorced middle-aged woman who works at a canteen and lives in the suburbs with her adult sons, Tim (Khan Chittenden), a shy mover, and Mark (Richard Wilson of The Proposition), who is chatty and personable but can't be left on his own due to his mental disability.
