Plot: Liz Gilbert takes a break from her terrible existence as a well-respected, financially successful New York writer, adored by men she cannot love back and despairing of her own inner emptiness. She travels the world to pursue enlightenment, a voyage — she never hesitates to tell anybody she meets — outside her own comfort zone. For the audience, however, it is anything but. The film never delves into a situation that does not scream "comfortable familiarity."
