Liz (Julia Roberts) takes a culinary trip around the world in this romantic dramedy, an adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir of the same name. Whether you dream of pasta, pizza, curry or naan, you can salivate over any of them in this film, which follows Liz from Italy to India to Bali on a journey of self-discovery following a difficult divorce.
The film’s cinematography captures the essence of her delicious meals in such detail that audiences can almost taste them themselves, which plays a significant role in communicating Liz’s rediscovered love for life’s simple pleasures. She also delivers a moving monologue about refusing to let an obsession with calories keep her from enjoying incredible food. Directed by Ryan Murphy, Eat, Pray, Love skillfully combines lush visual storytelling with an exploration of themes such as self-discovery, spirituality, and the pursuit of happiness.
