Leave The World Behind

Julia Roberts

The hot Netflix film presently is Leave The World Behind starring Julia Roberts & Ethan Hawke. It is proving to be divisive among the audience and that's not hard to understand why.

So here you are going to get my quick hot take on it as to why I liked it. First off let's refer to the meme above. This is how Ms. Roberts closes an opening monologue, this closed the deal for me to continue watching.

A lot of fuss has been made about how the movie seems random and not connected. While I don't disagree with that entirely. I liked that about it. It was a bold choice IMHO because that is the way a situation like this would play out in real life. Do any of you know exactly what you would do or how you would behave, let alone what would happen when no one really knows what's happening in a situation like this? Yeah, I thought not...

There is that ending, which I felt captured the spirit of the rest of the story the film told. No one knows anything and they are trying to figure out who and what they are in this extreme situation. 

My only real criticism is it felt all too possible and real to me, and that Minions is truly frightening!!!
