  Agonisingly awkward brilliance
  
  Toni Collette is great in this, its hilarious and heartwrenching at times. I've seen it a few times. Great film.

  Sad and sorry type
  
  Muriel was a sad sorry type of person that you wouldn't want to admit to knowing! This is a funny weird film that will keep you amused for a short while.

  You're terrible Muriel
  
  Amazingly funny but tender as well. Toni Collette is fantastic in this gem of a movie that is highly entertaining and dares to be different.
