22 h. ago Muriel’s Wedding review – Toni Collette is outstanding in the film that brought Abba back

Brilliantly led by Collette, PJ Hogan’s 1994 story of a lovable loser was the feelgood sensation that rescued the band’s reputation – how can you resist it?When writer-director PJ Hogan made Muriel’s Wedding in 1994, he surely knew he had struck feelgood-movie gold. But maybe he didn’t realise he had personally authored a pivotal moment in Abbamania’s global history: the momentous transitional phase between the band being taboo-naff and being world-conqueringly beloved. (Maybe Mr Hogan should be getting a cut of the Mamma Mia! musicals and the Abba Voyage live show.) Hogan also gave us our first real view of Toni Collette who started the way she meant to go on: being outstanding in everything she is in.But back in 1994, it was still appropriate that a loser – albeit a lovable loser – could be depicted as an Abba fan; but this movie gets something right that the endless pedantic jukebox musicals that came later get wrong.

Semi-final: Atlético Madrid 0-1 Barcelona (agg 4-5)Barça v Real Madrid final for first time since 2014A decade later, the Copa del Rey will have a clásico final. First Barcelona played, then they resisted and in the end it was enough to see them through. A wild first leg, 4-4 at Montjuic, gave way to a tense and ultimately tight second in which a single Ferran Torres goal scored in the first half won it. Seville awaits Hansi Flick’s side, two teams still chasing a treble set to meet again, a third and final trophy denied to Atlético.In the five weeks since the first leg of this semi-final, a superb season slipped away from Diego Simeone’s side. Atlético won just one of five games since then, and that was the Champions League second leg in which they were knocked out on penalties. They also slipped to nine points off the top in La Liga. And now, their cup run is over too. They had taken their opponents to the line but could not get over it themselves. Barcelona could. Continue readin...
