Terrific Billy Crudup fighting back tears as the elevator door closes.
The other moment happens at the beginning after she decides to walk away from her marriage and realizes she has broken her husband's heart. The moment comes on the last third of the film so I thought it was a bit too late to start my relationship with her. The moment provokes a reaction on Julia Roberts's character that makes her totally human. Two moments have stayed with me, one in particular: Javier Bardem crying as he says goodbye to his 19 year old son. The Freudian Pizza Reviewed by marcosaguado Vote: 7/10 When the character becomes shallow, a film centered around that character becomes a throw away. Instead of finding spirituality, she seemed vapid. Instead of finding Liz intelligent and thoughtful, she seemed selfish, boring, and obsessed with men. One time Liz made a joke, that was a nice break from the feeling of being in a lukewarm bathtub for 2 1/2 hours. Perhaps someone who did not read the book could enjoy this movie, but I somehow doubt it. The first 1/2 hour of the film was almost unbearably bad, even though the first section of the book was amongst my favorites.

The greatest emotion I felt from the film was hunger (for Italian pizza), thirst (for Italian wine), and an occasional dizziness due to director Ryan Murphy's apparent recent discovery of how to "pan." It was laughable camera-work throughout the first 45 minutes, and occasionally throughout. I found the book soulful, moving, even transformative at times. While never horrible, this film simply made me feel nothing. Long story short, it's all of the arc of the book, without any of the passion. Turns out, I loved everything about this movie except the movie. I thought Julia Roberts as Liz was fantastic casting.

FYI Richard Jenkins is the only person Julia Roberts' Liz really connects to. See? For people you care about sometimes you hold yourself back. Oh, and why did I spend money to see this? A friend convinced me it would be great, and she is such a good friend and enjoyed it so much I will never tell her exactly how much I despised it. But the unreality of EVERYONE LOVING HER is just a bit lame.
I have to say that the direction and very good supportive acting presents an effective image of all sorts of energetic life going on around Liz (and inviting her to be part of it) while she sits whining to herself in voice-over.
And FYI EVERY man in this film is sensitive and caring. And the punch line? The woman who has wasted 2.5 hours of your life whining that everyone around her says she needs a man finally finds "balance". That the scene is followed by two bone-thin actresses faking attempts to "squeeze into" jeans is just insulting. And to have this bone-thin creature lecture another bone-thin creature on the need to "just enjoy eating, we can always buy a bigger pair of jeans" is insulting AND laughable. She dumps her lovers and husband and the only friend that will tell her what she needs to hear, in the belief that "balance" lies so far outside herself that she has to travel the world (on a very tight schedule) to seek enlightenment. Only good looking men fall in love with Liz, and everyone admires her. It's as if she needs to punish anyone who treats her well. Her subsequent lover is left with the same "huh?" moment. She one day decides she doesn't want it anymore and, props to the acting of Crudup, the husband has no reason to know why. you get no sense this broad is trying to have a kid or that her marriage has been failing.
Never read the book and thanks to this well-produced wretched film never will.
