It was hard to score this film. I tried explaining the concept of to a younger person who had no knowledge. But when you break down some of the characters - the abusive father, the day dreaming Muriel, the friend who contracts cancer and ends up in a wheel chair, the cuckolding fickle friends, the mother who suicides all set to an ABBA sound track - it left them looking at me saying "and this is one of the all time favorite movies?". I must admit on watching it again years later they were right. Australia has become a different place. I know many people hold this movie close, but I'm not so sure how well it will age going into the future.
