Negative Positive
Title: Does not deserve all these negative reviews
Review: I am not a woman writing this and I did not read the novel.On the other hand I am sucker of films that make me travel. This film satisfied me largely in this aspect.Beautifully shot, with a soundtrack that is "sans faute".The film does not portray Liz as an idiotic waif who throws herself head on into the place wherever she goes.She appears to be detached from the situations involved.In the Indian ashram, she readily accepts with a large smile to do PR job, foregoing meditation.The scenes with the chaman in Bali is downright funny. The chaman's delivery of philoshopy is countered by humorous comments by his assistant which seems to confirm the mild charlatan aspect.The films does not take itself too seriously, despite the underlying heavy "searching for a sense in life" theme.
