What it's about

A married woman realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to "find herself".

Why 13

The official rating, firstRated PG-13 in the US (parents strongly cautioned, some material may be inappropriate for children under 13). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
A divorce, and plenty of innuendoThe heroine leaves her husband, takes a lover, finds another in Bali; sex is talked about some twenty times, jokingly, and two love scenes stay discreet. A younger child hears the words without the scenes.
Wine, cigarettes, tearsItaly is eaten and drunk, India is prayed and wept through; a Balinese healer, crying on a rooftop, mild swearing.
The restA kitchen knife, a bicycle accident, a death recounted; nothing frightening.

What the movie brings

A woman who leaves alone to find herself: the film tells it without judging it.
Rome, India and Bali as three ways of living, to talk about at the table.
Forgiveness as work, with a husband who is never made the villain.

Watching it together

Before

Nothing to prepare; the film is long and talky, a younger child comes for the scenery.

After

at 13 and up

Liz leaves everything to be happy: is that courage or selfishness?
