CRITIQUES FROM INTERNAUTS
So, on this review aggregator site, “Leave the World Behind” continues with an evaluation of 75%. As far as public evaluation is concerned, it practically drops by half: 38%, being in free fall. In this sense, on social media, viewers gave their verdict, with many leaving various criticisms.
“It’s a strange film, often funny, often stupid, and ultimately a cynical mess. The film takes a long time to get to the point and, when it does, it is pessimistic and narratively unsatisfying. I didn’t like the movie“, wrote one internet user on Twitter.
“I felt like I wasted my time. Building suspense for almost 2 hours to have such an unsatisfactory conclusion is genuinely very boring […] I predicted the plot 10 minutes later and it didn’t innovate at all“, shot another on the same social network.
