EAT, PRAY, LOVE.

''Eat, Pray,Love'' is a story of pain through divorce. 

Liz Gilbert played by Julia Roberts is a writer enduring a sticky divorce with a husband who is confused about his goals in life. With a fancy house and what seems to be a loving marriage, Liz doesn't seem content in her non existent happiness. She prays to god on her bathroom floor to give her a ultimatum and she gets one. Her decision to divorce, throws her husband who assumed their eight year marriage was indeed perfect. His desperate plea for one thing  to keep Liz only during the divorce settlement, was heartbreaking if not slightly sweet.
And so her life begins as she meets and falls for  David (James Franco), in New York . He plays a young and terrible actor who meditates to keep sane. Their screwed up short relationship gives Liz the ammunition she needs to change her life.

So she leaves to Italy to eat for four months, devouring every pizza, plate of pasta and cups of wine she missed for so long. She also learns Italian with a teacher and gains a familiar group of many close friends. 
Still recovering from her divorce, she then retreats to India to meditate and come to terms with her life and stress and mostly to pray. Along the way she meets some inspirational characters who help her just as much as she assists them in their problems spiritually. 

She then returns to Bali to speak to a medicine man who forsees the future. He has many surprises for her and she enjoys the wonders of this island. She finds something unexpected in Bali which she may keep for life.

A beautifully poignant movie by one of my favourite actresses. It relinquishes how much problems can affect one's life and sometimes all you can do is leave and take a break in order to mend.
