BAD: The experience of watching this film is the opposite of what Elizabeth Gilbert experiencing. The film is smooth, long, boring and sometimes self-indulgent. Gilbert's story is about re-discovering life and moments of joy and happiness, none of which are present in this film. For the film, to be uplifting, leaving the viewer to feel nothing but the exercise you feel after you move the seat more than two hours and that this film forces you. This is clearly demonstrated in the scene where the character of Richard Jenkins, the burden of their sad story of Gilbert, the scene is so poorly done that you do not feel anything for this character, who made a terrible mistake and tries to make peace. Instead, it is shrinking in performance, especially Roberts, who has nothing in common, but they look sad and pathetic response Jenkins.

This can be extended to treat Gilbert James Franco's character, whom she leaves at the moment, it is not "try" something from him yet. What we can do is concentrate on observing the middle aged woman indulging in their own selfish interests, which is the central point of this story about self discovery. If the direction and power we have in this movie have been better handled, that point would come through the core and the exploits of Gilbert would have been clear and very watchable instead of crud this film provides.
