Eat Pray Love (2010)

Eat Pray Love: Directed by Ryan Murphy. With Julia Roberts, I. Gusti Ayu Puspawati, Hadi Subiyanto, Billy Crudup. A married woman realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to “find herself”.

“I did read the book but, I had hoped that this was going to be like u0026quot;The Bridges Of Madison Countyu0026quot;. The film so much better than the book thanks to Meryl Streepu0026#39;s Francesca, a woman I could follow and learn from in every way. Here, my hero, Julia Roberts is as static as the page that originated her character. I couldnu0026#39;t and wouldnu0026#39;t get interested in her. Women, no matter how independent, remain nurturers by nature. I was desolate. I sided with her husband, Billy Crudup, totally. And what about the younger guy, James Franco, she takes instead of giving and she also takes from Richard Jenkins and Javier Bardem in Bali. It is in fact in Bali where I detected a glimpse of real emotion an emotion provoked by somebody elseu0026#39;s feelings. I could see a film about that woman. Julia feels detached, as if she was just going through the motions. Iu0026#39;m sorry critics and public ganged up against her for her work in u0026quot;Mery Reillyu0026quot; An actress of Juliau0026#39;s talent and beauty could have contributed a sensational gallery of different women. Instead she seems stacked in this shrill, angry lady with very little to say.”
