Movie review – “Muriel’s Wedding” (1994) ****1/2

The first third is close to perfection as such things get. The remaining two-thirds is less strong but still very enjoyable studded with genius. Toni Collette’s Muriel is one of the all time great cinematic characters with some amazing breakdowns. You think she’s going to be “cured” when she moves to Sydney but no, it takes forever.
