Eat Pray Love  (PG)   133 mins

Director:  Ryan Murphy        Screenplay:  Ryan Murphy and Jennifer Salt        from the book by Elizabeth Gilbert        Cinematography:  Robert Richardson        Original music:  Dario Marianelli

Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she finds herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wants in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love (with hunky Brazilian expat Felipe, played by Javier Bardem) in Bali.

"The film offers an easygoing and generous blend of wish fulfillment, vicarious luxury, wry humor and spiritual uplift, with a star, Julia Roberts, who elicits both envy and empathy.  It is unlikely to change anybody’s life or even to provoke emotions anywhere near as intense as those experienced, early and late, by its intrepid heroine. Its span may be global, but its scope is modest, and it accepts a certain superficiality as the price of useful insight. Watch. Smile. Go home and dream of Brazilians in Bali." New York Times
