Leave the World Behind Ratings & Reviews
- jacxcx4 oktober 2025A slow, boring, and flat movie. With the worst ending I’ve ever seen.
- cmartino19677 mars 2026Reviews blast this movie but I enjoyed it and like the open ended ending.
- Tanalien9 januari 2025Leave The World Behind picks at what it sees as mainstream in today’s culture: the easy capacity to distrust, criticize, and be cold. If it happens so often in online exchanges, how could it not bleed into conversation and important relationships? The ruler of a technology is the one whose code runs on it. Most of our technology is not our own. Leave The World Behind tells us: If we use technology to replace the value of human connection, then we better understand the consequences – and what now has control over us. Doctor, the patient’s diagnosis is not good.
- marcog9278 februari 2026Beautiful, but unfinished....
- Marcelo Scatena13 december 2025Good movie, good take on the genre, and it has a couple of very good scenes. Props for how real the characters feel. But nothing was more than just good. This could've been a really interesting TV show.
- Kevin Ward2 juli 2025Netflix ironically making the 'pro physical media' case probably IS a sign of the apocalypse. I really loved this. A slow burn psychological thriller that sustains the tension through the entire runtime. I love this kind of tension—the perpetual feeling of impending doom. Married couple Amanda and Clay (Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke), book an AirBnB, outside of the city to get away from the hustle and bustle with their two children. But in the middle of the night a knock on the door reveals a man and his daughter claiming to be the residents of the house. A massive power outage has crippled the city where their main home is and they headed out to their remote rental for refuge. The man, G.H. is played by Mahershala Ali and his daughter, Ruth, by Myha’la Herrold. The two families are forced to figure out how to navigate this night together, how to figure out what is going on out in the world, and determine who is it that they can trust? The camera work is stylish with some Fincher-esque impossible camera movements. There’s also an interior car shot with excellent sound design that perfectly symbolizes the film’s major theme how technology and modern conveniences have created a separation amongst each other. This family of four on vacation together are each living a completely separated and isolated existence. The all-star cast is fantastic, and Esmail mixes the pairings of cast members on screen throughout so we get different character dynamic in almost every scene. The only character I didn’t mention yet is Kevin Bacon, who plays a survivalist “nut” local to the area. He definitely brings the fire in his limited screen time, which of course I loved. Leave the World Behind may not be for everyone. It’s not a typical apocalyptic thriller, but I immensely enjoyed the production, the outstanding performances, and the questions it asks about our relationships to each other. Highly recommend the film.
- dwarkarn12 augusti 2025Fantastic movie that hits real close to home in the current social and political climate. The sense of dread instilled by this movie is palpable from start to finish.
- Spanktacular9 augusti 2025Apocalyptic sleeper! Great cast, realistic character writing both in dialogue and in personality, and a well-executed world/situation. Rose is queen and deserves everything.
- Dee17 november 2025Surprisingly good, but would be great for a small series. Would’ve watched for another 2 hours so it deserved a second movie as many things were left open
- ayayron16 februari 2025Manifests new fears while you consider the ramifications of living in heavily tech-reliant times
- The Gutter Monkey19 oktober 2024If unraveling symbolism isn't your thing, it'll keep you hooked until a disappointing end. But if you crack its code, it's a perfect from start to finish.
- Richard Scott Long16 september 2025Mah...all I can say...
- archlives21 juni 2025Interesting plot, but not enough explained about what is going on, a lot of swearing, and a ridiculous ending as of it's only half way through.
- Tyler S8 februari 2025👍 6.5/10
- John Chapel24 november 2024I'm gonna be honest. I fell asleep. I wasn't even tired. But nothing happens in this movie. Husbands a cuck, Julia Roberts is a bitch, Cyberterrorists basically kneecap earth and then everyone gets pissy because the daughter cant watch friends on Netflix - Yes, that happens.
