Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Jayne Nelson

Laura Dern stars in this formulaic romantic drama which owes a heavy debt to Eat Pray Love. Desperate to finish her latest book, author Katherine (Dern) heads to a writers' retreat in Morocco. While reeling from jet lag, lost luggage and recent heartbreak, she meets the hunky Owen (Liam Hemsworth). He's at the retreat with his novelist girlfriend (Diana Silvers), but their relationship has become strained. On a day trip to a local market, Owen befriends Katherine and despite their age difference - which is, refreshingly, never acknowledged - sparks start to fly. You could map out the story on a postage stamp before watching this, but convoluted plot shenanigans aren't really the point. Dern is spiky and magnetic in a role that has "Julia Roberts" written all over it. Hemsworth adds warmth, and the Morocco locations that the pair saunter through are stunning. If you want something more complex, try visiting another retreat.
