	Muriel's Wedding (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Muriel stumbles on the way but finally frees herself (as does her mother) from the oppression of her hometown, her father, and her life.
		In the end however, Muriel recognizes that despite her shortcoming, physical and spiritual, she isn't the worthless creature her classmates and father have told her she is. To the credit of the filmmaker's they didn't do a complete remake of Muriel in the film to make her a beauty at the end.
		Muriel's father on the other hand is a completely despicable man. A local politician who tries to impress everybody with his connections he also put considerable effort into the degradation of his wife and children.

	Muriel's Wedding article in The Australian
		Yet there are also shrewd touches of great restraint, such as the moment early in the movie when a depressed Muriel lies impassively on her bed, her face so devoid of expression that the scene is far more poignant and painful than a depiction of an overwrought, teary outburst.
		Yet perhaps the scene that best exemplifies Muriel's unique daring is the "beanbag scene" in which Rhonda and Muriel bring three boys back to their Sydney flat, only for the carefree fun of the night to be obliterated by Rhonda's dramatic collapse.
		Muriel's wish that her life be as good as a song from Sweden's fab four might have once sounded like the emptiest of ambitions.

	Muriel / 1963 / film review / Alain Resnais / Delphine Seyrig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Widely regarded as one of Alain Resnais’ greatest films, Muriel is perhaps the most perfect distillation of the themes of time, place and memory which dominate most of the director’s works.
		Muriel is mainly concerned with two characters - a lonely middle-aged widow, Hélène (magnificently portrayed by Delphine Seyrig), and her traumatised step-son Bernard.
		Muriel is an immeasurably fascinating and complex film which requires at least three or four viewings to appreciate its genius and subtlety.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Muriel's Wedding (xhtml)
		Muriel's home life is cheerless, with an undertone of tragedy in Betty, her mother (Jeanie Drynan), a thoroughly cowed woman who is treated by her children like a domestic slave and by her husband Bill (Bill Hunter) as a household appliance who cooks and cleans.
		But Muriel is still unhappy, and because she identifies perfect happiness with getting married, she haunts wedding shops and eventually ends up in a marriage of convenience with an empty-eyed South African swimming star who needs a wife to get an Australian passport.
		"Muriel's Wedding" has a lot of big and little laughs in it, but also a melancholy undercurrent, which reveals itself toward the end of the film in a series of surprises and unexpected developments.

	‘Muriel’s Wedding’ (R)
		Though Muriel (Toni Collette) would like to think otherwise, it's not just her father who sees her as an embarrassment.
		Collette's performance is strong and fearless, but Muriel's innermost feelings are as vapid and off-putting as the pop songs she listens to.
		She wants to be a princess -- if only for a day -- and as a dress rehearsal, she hits every bridal shop in Sydney, trying on gowns and, afterward, filing away snapshots of them in a wedding album she keeps hidden under her bed.

		Muriel struggles to find herself amidst the lies she tells and the real life for which she yearns, thus the story.
		Muriel's lip sync of the ABBA song in itself is a scene right from another Australian import "Priscilla Queen of the Desert".

		Muriel (Toni Collette) has been told all her life that she is "nothing" and a "nobody".
		That plot synopsis sounds like it was written by a studio stooge, but it is really hard to write about this movie in too much detail without giving away too much of the plot for those few of you that haven't seen the movie yet.
		Muriel's Wedding is one of the best Australian movies of all time.
