“Feminine, funny, and unfooled by masculinity.”
—BFI
“MURIEL’S WEDDING might just be the most honest coming-of-age film ever made, which is ironic for a story about a pathological liar.”
—Rough Cut
“Funny, strange, and, best of all, graced with strong human compassion … MURIEL’S WEDDING is a bustling blend of wry humor and acerbic social satire.”
—The Hollywood Reporter
How does this sound? A hot pastel-hued coming-of-age story about a shy, outcast young woman in tiny Porpoise Spit, Australia, who finds her identity in ABBA songs and sets out for the big city to become somebody. Pretty good, huh? It gets better. Toni Collette plays her, and she kicks it into hyperdrive.
