Description

“Whereas most docs about ‘different’ people are content to flatter our empathy, ‘Dina’ aims to deepen it.” — David Ehrlich, IndieWire

"The documentary form has answered the call and offered up one of the most surprising and thoughtful romantic comedies of the year in 'Dina.'" — Gary Garrison, The Playlist

Dina, an outspoken and eccentric 49-year-old in suburban Philadelphia, invites her fiancé Scott, a Walmart door greeter, to move in with her. Having grown up neurologically diverse in a world blind to the value of their experience, the two are head-over-heels for one another, but shacking up poses a new challenge.

Filmmakers Dan Sickles and Antonio Santini construct seamless vérité scenes that lovingly frame Dina and Scott's vulnerable, yet matter-of-fact romance. Whether at the local nail salon, the warm beaches of Ocean City, Dina's racy bachelorette party, or on honeymoon in the Poconos, Dina captures the cadences and candid conversations of a relationship that reexamines the notion of love on-screen.
