Leave The World Behind (2023)

Sam Email (who was the creator of the popular drama "Mr. Robot") directs only his second feature film adapting the 2020 novel of the same name from Rumaan Alam.  This is a story of one New York City family (lead by Oscar winner Julia Roberts, Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke) who rents a nice home on Long Island to get away for the weekend....and the father (Two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali) who owns this home returning unexpectedly with his daughter (Myha'la) to also stay there for the weekend.  And this is because there has been a blackout in New York City where the father and daughter were attending a symphony.....only it seems that there is MUCH more going down than just this blackout. :o  Many disturbing things start to occur outside and to the folks in this house....and as every one becomes increasingly disconnected from the rest of the world, they start to wonder just how massive this event which is occurring happens to be.  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
