“i still remember joining the neighbors to go to the movies to see a new Australian film that noone knew much about, except that it featured the music of abba…just as i still remember walking out of the cinema aglow with such immense joy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethis is a wonderful film, that begins with a shy, needy, shrinking-violet girl and ends with a strong, honest woman aware of her own power to change and control the world around her. this film is full of laughs, full of smiles and, towards the crescendo of the last few minutes even full of tears. one canu0026#39;t help but want to stand up and cheer, or dance, or both, as muriel escapes everything that her u0026#39;lifeu0026#39; has pushed on her and rides into the sunset, with such happiness radiating from her face.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;youu0026#39;re terrible, muriel…u0026quot; she is, and you canu0026#39;t help but love her for it. see this movie!”
