Leave The World Behind

directed & written by Sam Esmail

based on the novel by Rumaan Alam

The film is directed by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail, who adapted the screenplay from the 2020 novel by Rumaan Alam. Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke play a New York couple who happen to take their two children on a woodland getaway to Long Island just as things fall apart, while Mahershala Ali is the owner of the property they’ve rented, who shows up in the middle of the night to seek refuge in his own home with his daughter (Bodies Bodies Bodies actor Myha’la Herrold). Can they survive together, or will they turn on one another as the situation gets desperate. Leave the World Behind is more interested in those questions than answering the mystery of what’s happening to the world at large.

These netflix movies be having big names getting me excited just to let me down time and time over again

crazy cast,in

SAM ESMAIL

What’s the deal with that? I always feel like a lot of these Netflix movies be missing something. Like they have the foundation to be good but always fall short

in for Esmail

got the book on my reading list too

On one part they do be making like the same 3 movies in different ways with different actors. Then have these huge flicks that just end up being bland.

Giving this a chance solely because Esmail gave us Mr Robot

and Homecoming

Oh yea that was heat too

Sam Esmail made Mr Robot, he's never going to fail.
