Doesn't this seem a little self-absorbed? I know everyone searches for meaning but this whole "woe is me" attitude is really prevalent in our society. Maybe it's my worldview talking but you live life because you're given it, not because you're particularly happy.

I think that's the point, Samantha. A woman who had a self-absorbed worldview went on a journey and had an encounter. I haven't seen the film yet, but my bets would be that her self-absorbed, woe-as-me attitude was radically changed along the way. I think that's what makes the film so interesting and probably such a unique opportunity to talk about ultimate things of value with friends who might likewise need such a journey.

I don't know Samantha...
I think it's almost the exact opposite.
The "woe is me" attitude is more prevalent because people no longer know "what their life is worth" or "the point" of existence.
I think this movie will go a long way in helping some people to wake up (from their slumber of self-absorption) to what is valuable and worth pursuing, in this life, and beyond.
