3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Leave the World Behind’:

  1. Gosh, how much I’ve missed Julia Roberts.

  2. I almost forgot how much I love Sam Esmail. I was enamored straight out of the gate here, hooked right away. His direction, the way he frames everything, the way he builds tension, the use of music, how all these characters had constant, quality, well-developed interactions with each other… he’s a genius. So much talking and I was never bored. Not for a minute. Now I need him to write/direct a horror film. Can you even imagine?

  3. As the buildup progressed, and the story headed towards its unfathomable conclusion, I worried more and more that it wouldn’t stick the landing. But it most definitely did.

Bonus Thought: The Thornes know what’s up with that Buffy collection. I’d be all set lol.
