Leave the World Behind (LtWB) is a slow burn thriller that falls short of its promises. The story follows two families stranded together during a catastrophic event, but the reveal lacks impact and the film's ambiguity leads to frustrating dead ends. While the actors deliver fine performances, the lack of direction and pointless scenes detract from the intended message. Overall, LtWB is an interesting yet ultimately disappointing movie that indulges in storytelling without delivering on its potential.
