...so sadly, there are many 'Muriels' out there, where someone's family../home should be their place of refuge and safety..their comfort..but it's the place which feeds all of their insecurities instead..it prevents them from being who they are and loving who they are.../seeing their beauty...

You're right there are many Muriels out there, which is also why i love the film, it makes me feel like i'm not alone.
You could say i were Muriel, i know i was selfish, (and i hate to admit this) i stole, and i lied, but i came from a house where there were no love, no money, all my friends had a better life than me, my dad was an arsehole, and my mum the down trodden wife who went on to commit suicide. The fact that i weren't close to any of my siblings, in fact we pretty much hated each other, but that's all we knew.
I escaped my family by running off with my boyfriend, trying to find out who i were, where i belonged, and through his and his familys love and plus my moral compass grew stronger once i'd left home, so i can totally relate to Muriel and all her flaws

...awww Ruby....yeah I really do see it as quite a dark movie and not a 'chick flick' type thing..although there are aspects of that as well obviously but it's intrinsically a very sad movie..(with a satisfying ending..)...
..what your friends had ..(in your eyes because it may not have been so in reality..)...was love and acceptance and what you feel that you stole, was that and noting to do with money at all..and your 'lies' were not lies but more, dreams and wishes...I believe that your 'moral compass' was always strong rather than grew strong and I doubt that you have a selfish part in your body..we are what our environment makes us and all of us victims of that...and our 'flaws'..your flaws..?...they are what makes us and you beautiful because it's not that we have them, it's that we learn the strengths they give us..'perfection' would b a completely disabling thing to be......
