Enjoyable, emotionally engaging Australian drama with superb performances from Blethyn and an up-and-coming young cast.
What's it all about?
Brenda Blethyn plays Jean Dwight, a formerly famous English comedienne who's still chasing the big time on the Sydney entertainment scene, after emigrating to Australia 25 years previously and raising her two sons, 21-year-old, sexually inexperienced Tim (Khan Crittenden) and his disabled brother, Mark (Richard Wilson).
Over the years, Jean's controlling and selfish behaviour has driven away both her own husband (Frankie J Holden) and any girls who had previously shown an interest in Tim. However, when Tim meets and falls for Jill (Emma Booth), he has to finally learn to stand up to his mother if he wants his relationship to survive.
