So I figured that any film with those 3 little yet powerful words in the title had to be good, and it was. This film is a charming look at a woman's last chance to find herself. Julia Roberts plays Liz, a writer that lives in New York City. She feels trapped by her life and is looking for something new. She goes through a few men and figures out that what she needs is an escape. She feels that the only way she can live life again is to throw herself into something new and scary. She decides to spend 4 months in Rome, 4 months in India, and 4 months in Bali. I did hear that the movie is based on a true story which explains how the film captures that raw emotion and pain in searching for yourself.
Each place has a word that Liz relates to....in Rome she eats....in India she prays....and in Bali she learns to love. The story is so some touching and it makes you want to travel the world and just leave everything safe behind. We feel like we are friends with the characters we meet along the way.
The movie is filmed in so many beautiful places and really captures the feeling of that place. You feel the heat of India, you feel the wind in Bali, and you smell the food in Rome. (A word to the wise, don't go see this movie if you are hungry because the food looks sooo AMAZING!)
This is a movie that all people can enjoy and I hope that the film will help people to leave their comfort zones and explore the world around them. Be daring and live life fuller than you ever have before!
I give it an A because it's truly beautiful
