I swear to god I am convinced that there is a mass campaign to gaslight me to think that this movie is some ten dimensional masterpiece

I loved the camera movements and blocking in this film.

I love when you love a movie. Your energy is like you just drank all the coffee in Seattle. 😂

It left me wanting more. I love it. I want a second movie to fellow the characters in this reality. I want to see if U.S. can survive this struggle they find themselves in. I have so many questions. Was this started from within or outside the country. I am definitely going to watch this movie again.

I just saw the movie and I agree with you Perri, I loved it! I don't understand the people complaining about the ending, I thought it was great!

The trailers for this intrigued me. I’ll definitely check it out now!

Are Kevin Bacon and Ethan Hawke the same person?

Can’t believe how much you loved it! Can’t wait to see it

Great to see you reviewing this movie I saw it on Netflix last night. It was pretty intense.

Great Review. Had hints of “Parasite” for me, mixed with Black Mirror

This movie is very good or miss for people. There’s no in between people either love it or hate it. I personally love this movie and it is genuinely one of the best things I’ve watched in a while.

Loved the movie and this review! Pretty much agree with you on everything you critiqued. Thanks for keeping your reviews unbiased and concentrating on the artistic choices and quality of a film.

I Still Do Not Know What This Movie Is About.

Cool! Very excited to see it. I was a big fan of Sam Esmail’s Mr Robot

Movie was okay until the ending, it completely ruined the whole movie waste of 2 hours this movie is TERRRRRRRIBLE

Esmail is such a brilliant filmmaker! Already cannot wait to see what he‘s doing next. Loved Leave the World Behind. One of my favorite films of the year as well, and also one of the very best Netflix productions to date.

We should sometimes leave the world behind, focus on family, stick together, release we all need each other but instead we need our internet …AND FRIENDS… 😓😓😓

The movie falls apart when you think about it logically

Netflix seems to be having a pretty banger year....I may have to resubscribe

Did you catch that it takes place in the Mr.Robot universe. 5/9 buckets, ECorp laptops, White Roses power plant.

This movie was so good. I need to get the book

Input fantastic and production/cast solid. Curious to know what liberties they took with source material

I do want to see this and I love it when Perri gets fired up for a movie even though we don't always agree especially when it comes to horror. Ha Ha

Keen AF for this, looks like it’d be my jam.

I wanted to watch it but it seems like so many people didn't like the movie at all...😊

Excellent film... Excellent explanation of this subliminal film full of predictive programming psychological messages... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏💯🎯

Didn't know I could get more excited for this!!!

The performances were spot on; however, I do feel that Netflix said to Sam, “How good is your M. Night impression?” And yes, I love Mr. Robot, even the second season

It felt incomplete/unresolved to me. It felt like the first episodes of a TV miniseries where you would have like at least 5 more episodes.

one of the best movies of 2023

Now I'll definitely watch it!

I feel thismovie is about a acountry can get defeated like messing with their technology,sending a drone to different cities with different flyers to mislead and confuse everybody so no one knows who's the enemy...and then easily defeat the already confuse country with that stragety

The movie was fun! So happy I moved to Canada and not America lol. Thanks for the review!

I just watched it and thought it was stupid on so many levels it's hard to begin. Just a few points. The son just starts pulling out his teeth because they felt weird. He's got radiation poisoning but nobody else does - they pawn it off on a bug bite? There's a face-to-face gun duel that goes to black and when the scene comes back, everyone is good buddies. Stupid girl runs away from home, rides a bike miles through muddy, unpaved, no trail, woods, finds some unknown house, takes out a buffet of food and starts chowing down, then finds a bunker downstairs and watches a movie. She's perfectly clean. Boats and planes crashing into beaches as if the piolet's just disappeared. Guy finds a watch on a beach, goes to pick it up and finds it attached to a dismembered arm. Stumbles backwards in shock only to fall across another dead body and looks surprised. SOMEHOW while he walked up to this he misses seeing an ENTIRE BEACH filled with dead bodies and aircraft parts. Suspenseful musical score going on and on and on and on, but nothing is happening visually that's suspenseful. Racial overtones and people acting unrealistically to strange situations. Finally an ending that will make you throw up a little. I think Pee Wee's Playhouse had more suspense and surprise. But here's the real kicker. I never really look at reviews, but the Netflix advertising said it "skyrocketed to #1 on the thriller list" and I'm sitting there wondering what I missed? Google reviews shows about 50% 1-star reviews. I click on Rotten Tomato's and see Perri giving it a good review and I'm like, "Who is this Perri Nemiroff guy" so I click on to see this full review. And I'm reading comments here and laughing! Perri followers I suppose. People gathering around like minds to cast praise on each other's reviews. Lots of people that have no clue what a good movie is and what is a bunch of nonsense. Or, they can just completely overlook OBVIOUS logical flaws in a movie without question and be entertained by well-acted performances of poorly written characters and plots, and interesting camera shots. Hardly reasons to rate a movie good.

Story, acting, cinemotgraphy, and music were all stellar!

I agree completely. Great movie.

This film is now in my top ten

I just finished watching this, and I want to literally restart and watch it again. I firmly believe the answers to all of our questions is from the woman Clay encountered after getting lost going to the store. For those of you who watched this already, catch what Netflix did at this specific dialogue. If you have your captions on like I do, you know if the language changes from English, the captions will translate into English, but also specify what language is being spoken at that time. Netflix deliberately left this out at this scene. Nothing pops up on the screen. So now I gotta wait for my husband to come home who learned Spanish so he can translate what she’s saying. This was a well executed conflict. Because it forces us to put ourselves in Clay’s position. What would you have done? She’s speaking a language you don’t understand, she clearly doesn’t speak English, she knows something or maybe has the answers. But we don’t understand her. Phones are also down. Google translate isn’t going to be useful at this point in time. What would you do?

This movie is so slow that it took 3 generations of cameramen to shoot the first scene 🙄 Julie Roberts is so boring 😴 in this movie that they had to get the other actors to sign a non suicide clause as part of their contract 😴 The plot in this movie is so "dead stupid" they needed a clairvoyant to translate the script 🙄

You are really giddy about the film Perri...

This feels like a speilberg and m night movie combined. Feels a lot like the movie signs.

What was the issue with the animals? Why did they stare at the humans?

It has its moments

decent movie, the "obey" and "nasa" shirts being side by side in a lingering shot was very weird, i'm not a conspiracy guy but what was that about. Also, I actually liked the ending unlike most.

I hated the ending

Watched this last night and wanted to see other people thought. It reminded me of Don't Look Up in a lot of ways. A pretentious end of the world movie made for and by Hollywood liberal elites. At least this movie spared us of a smug Meryl Streep thinking she was absolutely slaying at acting lol. I'd give this movie a 4/10 and that is only because of some good acting aside from Roberts. Boring, pretentious, and no pay off for a slow burn movie.

I really enjoyed the movie

I feel like Perri would have a hard time putting together the a Top 10 worst films of the year since she either likes or loves EVERYTHING. It’s noteworthy at this point.

The Latina lady played the role amazing. Who is she?

Definitely give this movie an 8 out of 10

I THINK IT IS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE ! TO ME IT PROBLABLY GOING BE A SERIES! WHO IS WITH ME! IT DOES NOT TELL WHAT HAPPENS IN THE IN THE END! THIS IS WHY I KEPPING ALL MY DVDS!

Sam Esmail is my favorite autour writer/director working today. He doesnt miss. Same with those who work under him. Todd Campbell and Mac Qualle.

Exceptional? A student film at best. A lot of continuity issues and the overuse of the 90 degree camera angles. Bad CGI and unoriginal dialogue, too.

it was too long for such a thin story

Useless review...paid review sounds like it

Movie was great but it isn’t a disaster movie and I’m not sure this reviewer gets it. It’s a character study about how we interact in the face of a crisis.

All the characters were supposed to be unlikable. I think a lot of people are going to miss the point of the film as it is a critique of modern America. Hence the title of the film, "Leave The World Behind"... For the last few hundred years as far as the universe is concerned it's the end of the line for the human race. Billions of years of evolution plus also game theory science proves that "co-operation" is the best survival strategy. This is something (doomsday/emergency) preppers say, but to be frank are lost in their own little world just as much as their own neighbours. Throw your phone away, it's no good for you!!!

Dear Gawd don't pay to see this movie. The only believable character is Kevin Bacon's. There are so many plot holes that at first, I thought JR's character was dead and in her own personal hell... The only suspense is the damn piano 3 second soundbite and the plain crash at the beach. The characters, dialogue and the deer, are completely non-believable. The parents that let kids run around in the woods unsupervised in a strange place none of them have ever been to, and only notice they are gone hours later... A wife that borders on paranoid schizophrenia who apparently is good with people? A way too laid back professor-husband who is only believable when he gets high by the pool. A teenage son who, does what? Wank off at pics he took by the pool of the owner's daughter and psychologically bullies his little sister. The uber-angst hyper-defensive overtly-mature daughter who is about as anti white-privileged as it gets and seems to really enjoy being an incredibly rude teenager. And a dad who drove from the city to Long Island amidst an unknown disaster to be safe at his home, but is unexplainably not worried about his wife flying back overseas, especially after seeing planes crash... And WTF is up with the deer? At least make an effort to explain THEIR behavior. Or the sound, the 'revelation type trumpets blaring' that burst eardrums and windows alike. The whole tension is built around the fact that none of them trust one another and clearly no one really cares about what happens to the daughter, who just wants to see the last episode of....friends? really? you are trying to sell THAT?!? Friends? She might as well have had been a Seinfeld fan ffs. Utter rubbish, sure, a 11-13 yrs old kid is going to be a fan of a show that ended nearly 2 decades ago??? suuuuure. But, I will say this, Kevin Bacon, knocked it out of the park with his portrayal of the shotgun totting survivalist dad. THAT felt real. THAT was believable and good acting and dialogue. I say this because I have spoken to that type of person before and he NAILED it. Overall, you can like this movie. I personally had to force myself to watch it past the first quarter. Apparently the book is good, there's that at least.

the movie was trash....i don't know what she is talking about....like wtf is going on in this movie? Who is the behind the attack? Wjy were ghe deers and animals behaving the way thry did?

This was not a good disaster movie. Barely any disaster was shown. There wasn't enough context. It didn't show how the said disaster affected the world or others. The movie didn't have a full ending - it didn't finish correctly. It felt like some of the acting was not there. I love disaster movies but this was not even a B- roll movie. It was quite bad. They call this a disaster movie, but there was less disaster more talking. It needed more disaster and less talking.

Great movie if you feel divisive racism around every corner is your schtick.

I didn’t mind most of the WOKE stuff because the movie had a nice little pay-off… but YES the overarching MESSAGE is that - At the End of the World - white peoples hating black peoples is the MOST IMPORTANT thing… more important than Life itself!?! Sad fact is that - it would only take a few days of NO FOOD being delivered into a city for people to go APE SHIT - and it could get tripped by something as simple as a TAX on trucks coming into NYC and all the Trucker agree to go on strike… people panic, grocery stores are empty and a mob attacks the first truck coming in to ameliorate the situation… now a “truck strike” turns into a suicidal risk and millions of people starve… no really, starve… and the “Giverment” can’t stop the collapse.

Worst movie, predictive programming everywhere.

This movie made me hate all the characters and this movie was the worst movie Ive ever seen

This movie had aloooooot of nonsense parts ... tense music majority of the time for no reason, camara circling a lot, where did the noise come from? A giant speaker? The deers looked super sus for no reason, the black dude sees a dead guy then everyone else around? Everything was close by 🙄 some of the soundtracks made no sense ... sorry Barack and Michelle 🤷‍♂️ Oh and unnecessary use of the F word by EVERYBODY, surprised they didn't allow the animals to curse cause even the little girl was saying it 🤦‍♂️

🗑. I was bored. I understood it as much as I was allowed to by the movie. The ambiguous ending as well. It was not done well. Julia Robert's dancing was by far the worst cinema sin. Score: 2/10

Is this a joke? This was, without a doubt, the WORST movie I've seen in a long time. TOTAL CRAP!!! Especially the ending.

Lmao look at the angle he took a shot of the boat.... straight on.... wow thats revolutionary. How much are they paying you to leave a good review?

Poorly thought out script, more plot holes than I ever recall in a film, subpar CGI, unrelatable & two-dimensional characters, characters cast to play ... themselves (no range in the performances at all). In nuce, I felt duped into watching this all the way through. Netflix appears to be on a downward spiral this year. Sorry to say that your review makes it very difficult to trust your judgement.

Sorry, i'm new to your reviews: I mostly agree with your comments, but do you always yell in a high pitch and wave your arms so emphatically? Maybe try to relax a bit?

Definitely picked up on the racist Karen vibe from Amanda oh and the son wearing an Obey shirt was a nice little touch, I gotta watch this one a few more times!

Stop telling people to waste a few hours of their life. The dialogue had my eyes rolling. It was pretentious and made no sense and the delivery was wooden. “The quiet is so noisy…”who the f**k wrote this??? And how can they put the same tense music from something horrific happening to a kid masterbating? And there was zero pay off. The only useful purpose this movie could serve is to show this in film schools and teach students on how NOT to make a film.

Movie was terrible

This was a terrible movie. The reason is isn’t the plot really it’s the characters being so so unlikeable

A total waste of time, all bluster and absolutely no substance. Irritating characters, apocalypse couldn't come soon enough.

This movie sucked balls. Great acting but total waste of time. If I knew Obama had a hand in it ahead of time I would haven’t even bothered.

It feels like you give a positive review because the Obamas were involved and big stars. I mean seriously, it’s one of the worst movies I have ever watched. There was no on scene chemistry at all, there was no dread or risk of death, no scare jumps, it was just awful. Far too long and boring. Why did the movie need the line ‘don’t trust white people’? Would the movie ever have the line don’t trust black people or don’t trust Asian people? Seems it’s such a lazy trope just now … let’s have a negative line about white people and thrown in some hairy female armpits. I’m sorry but you lose all credibility giving this 4.5 stars out of 5. It didn’t flow, no chemistry, poor acting and dialogue, just brutally bad. Please be honest instead giving reviews you feel you need to politically give.

Awful film.
