Chandler Danier7 Dec 28, 2023Acting! They're good. Everyone is so good and does some acting. Gets silly in the end. Fun to watch.

I'm amazed by the positive reviews this one is receiving. For me, Leave the World Behind, feels like a stew of half baked conspiracy theories and stereotypes of modern Westerners, set against a politely apocalyptic, backdrop. People are lazy, apathetic, paranoid, indulgent and ultimately, divided, even at the end. This may be partly true but I don't think its in any way broadly representative of humanity. Perhaps, in truth, it reflects an elite view of ordinary people, they themselves don't really know and just as tellingly, understand? Suffice to say, I can only speculate..... Its unsurprising then, that the ending to this tale has no real punch. I feel this is due to what I would characterise as general lack of awareness in this film, that can only lead to a meek conclusion. Are there any positives here? Well the acting is decent if unremarkable. The more surreal scenes, such as automated, driver less, Tesla's piling up like crisp white cardboard, is, on a certain level, captivating. In summary, a film that feels like it wants to say "something" but is hampered by its lack of insight, depriving it of a resonating voice.

For the most part Leave the World Behind, an adaptation of the novel by the same name directed by Mr. Robot's Sam Esmail. Some good performances, especially by Ethan Hawke, and some nice tension building between the two families. There is an excellent plane crash scene that is memorable. Kevin bacon is in it! I learned after watching this movie that it was produced by the Obamas, which is pretty weird.

This movie is watchable but pretty dull for an end of the world movie. The whole mystery woo woo sound track through the first half is heavy handed and detracted from any actual suspense. The biggest problem with the movie overall is that I just don't buy it. I don't buy the characters or the motivations for any of their actions or their interactions with each other, despite it being filled with big name actors who should be able to sell it to me. But what I really wanna know is, what is in those pills? Gotta stock up.
