Leave the World Behind (2023) directed by Sam Esmail, is a dystopian black comedy that visits territory similar to that of Melancholia, White Noise, and Don't Look Up. We never have all the answers to what is going on because we inhabit the same chaos and lack of control as the characters. (And there's plenty for everyone.) There is a bit of hope injected into the fray as an innoculation, but whether or not it works for you will depend upon your worldview. Getting to watch Julia Roberts play a misanthrope was worth the price of admission for me. "I fucking hate people." The four principal actors were great, as was Kevin Bacon.
Streaming on Netflix.
