"Leave the World Behind" Review

 

by John Zenoni


“Leave the World Behind”, starring Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali and Myha’la, is a fairly decent pre/post apocalyptic film currently streaming on Netflix. There are some pretty decent performances in this - especially by Roberts and Ali - including a cameo by Kevin Bacon - that makes it worth a look. But, while the build up is pretty intense and keeps you on the edge, the big twist or climatic scene is when I think when it failed for me. It just did not have the ending I expected after everything the characters went through. I have seen better type films -- but one could watch worse.
