Leave The World Behind, a movie adaptation of the book by the same name, which, no, I did not read and have no intention of reading. Yes people that read the book,I’m sure the book is better. You always say that. This movie clocks in at about 2 and a half hours, so I doubt the 9 weeks it would take me to slog through the book would be better.
This movie was weird for me. Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali were fantastic in this movie. They all were. The story itself is great. A family goes on vacation to get away from a life that’s making their parents miserable. The kids are enjoying themselves. It’s well acted.
Two strangers show up telling tales of a black out which may or may not be true, they may or may not be the owners. There’s some slight racism going on with Julia Roberts’character but it’s kind of understandable given the situation so maybe it isn’t racism it’s just healthy skepticism.
The problem I have honestly was with the pacing of it all. This move felt like it lasted 4 hours. By the time Kevin Bacon’s character shows up again I forgot he was even in the movie to begin with. His scene was pretty tense and his character was very necessary. If the movie was a little shorter I may have even been wondering where he was.
The movie does have a fantastic story and I don’t want to spoil stuff for you. You will notice I haven’t really said much about anything you won’t see by reading a movie poster. And I will still recommend watching this movie because while it feels long it is worth checking out. Just make sure you bring a drink and popcorn. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
