There is only
one reason to recommend the Aussie flick
Introducing the Dwights: British actress
Brenda Blethyn. Her interpretation of a working-class mother is powerful. By night, her character is an
old-school entertainer; by day, she works in a
cafeteria. There is nothing unusual about the character's flaws (she smothers her sons), hopes (to be famous), and habits (heavy drinking). But there is
something unusual about the way Blethyn brings this simple character to life. (
