Some of the other reviewers thought this was self-absorbed. Aren't we all though? This movie is about one woman's quest to find herself. She just happened to be fortunate enough to take a year off to do so. I very much liked how this movie showed her evolution away from the focus on her own misery to thinking about her life from a different point of view. One piece of advice I always remember is, 'you can't change what other people do, only how you react'. Liz shows us how she gets to a point where she reacts differently to the world - maybe a lesson for us all?
