LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND

Last night, I watched this Apocalyptic Psychological thriller film on Netflix. It's based on a book of the same name written in 2020.

"A family on vacation attempt to make sense of the gradual breakdown in phones, television, and other regularly used technology which points to a potential cataclysm is happening in America."

The film is actually quite good, intelligently written and acted by all those involved. The movie has a vibe of Hitchcock to it including the background musical score, except for the R&B music which I was not a fan of.
The executive producers of this movie include Julia Roberts and Barack and Michelle Obama!
I won't go into detail about the outcome of the film as it needs to be watched but the folly of Technology and the belief in your Governmental Rights are at the forefront of this flick.
The movie is quite long at 141 minutes.
Downside of this picture for me was seeing Julia trying to dance to R&B music which looked embarrassing for her and us as the viewers.
Also there is a scene that I had to turn away from that involves teeth! Yikes!
I shall rate this film a score of 8/10.
