Eat Pray Love (2010)

Director: Ryan Murphy
Starring: Julia Roberts
Genre: Drama
Rating: ****

Drama in which a newly divorced woman embarks on a journey around the world, on a quest of self-discovery and inner balance.

A radiant Julia Roberts stands out from this film, delivering a beautiful, moving performance. Eat Pray Love is a charming, sweet drama which should appeal to most - let's face it, the majority of us all wanted to find ourselves and change our lives before. And now, we can watch as someone else starts out on their journey and completes it.

It is the part of the film set in Italy which is the best part - learning how to enjoy life, change yourself, and learn new things. It is such a relatable, beautifully filmed adaptation of a book which I do confess to never have read before, so unfortunately no comparisons can be made between them. The film really does deliver interesting sentiments and opinions on life. And, the 'prophecy' at the beginning fortunately prevents us wondering about the ending - we know what happens, without actually seeing it.

A truly engrossing, inspirational film, and something definitely worth watching.
