WHY YOU SHOULD STREAM Leave the World Behind - TIPS FROM JUSTWATCH
Perfect for fans of dark and ambiguous psychological thrillers
Rachel Ulatowski
Written on December 15, 2023 Streamed on Netflix
"Leave the World Behind will appeal to viewers who prefer searching for clues and analyzing a film's meaning over a straightforward story. Viewers may not get the answers they want but will get one thought-provoking, dark, and cynical apocalyptic plot that delves into survival and the precariousness of peace. Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, and Ethan Hawke also elevate the film's sense of mystery by masterfully keeping their characters' true natures elusive. With heavy subject matter, mystery, and a constant sense of foreboding, Leave the World Behind is a psychological thriller that's hard to turn away from."
A must-watch for fans of thrillers and disaster movies
Keith Langston
Written on December 15, 2023 Streamed on Netflix
"In Leave the World Behind, a family’s weekend getaway is turned upside down after a massive cyber attack causes American life to implode…and reveals that something even more sinister may be going on. If you love sadistic and thrilling apocalyptic films like Silent Night or Melancholia, you’ll love the unsettling vibes of Leave the World Behind - and it’s more action-oriented plot also makes it perfect for fans of disaster movies like 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow."
