Geraldine Brophy

Geraldine Brophy won NZ Film and Television actor awards for 1998 tele-movie Home Movie, and playing the bargain-obsessed mother in 2008 hit Second-Hand Wedding. In 1997 the sometime stage director began a four year stint on Shortland Street, as receptionist Moira Crombie. Her other screen roles include In My Father's Den, Cannes-nominated comic short Nothing Special, and playing the school inspector on cult comedy Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby.

Brophy is the secret of this film's success. Her Jill is a rare combination of great dignity and impeccable comic timing; the best single performance I've seen in a New Zealand film for years.
