Netflix has a new #1 movie: Leave the World Behind, an apocalyptic thriller directed by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail.
Despite its star-studded cast, which includes Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Mahershala Ali, and intriguing premise involving a mysterious cyberattack during a family's Long Island vacation, the movie is dividing viewers. There's also a stark contrast between the critics and audience scores on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes: the former is currently at 75%, while the latter is much lower at 36%.
Total Film's Kate Stables calls the movie "glossy but uneven," praising Roberts' performance but said the "endlessly bickering characters ultimately stop us caring whether their world ends with a bang or with a whimper."
There's much less balance in the audience reviews, however, with one viewer writing, "The dialogue was lazy, the realism of the plot was BS. Truly a wasted 2 hours." Others agree, calling Leave the World Behind a "truly awful movie with a horrible ending. Boring, slow moving chain of events, of which we never learn the cause, leading to an anticlimactic ending."
Leave the World Behind is streaming now on Netflix. For more, check out our picks of the best Netflix movies to add to your watch list today.
