Leave the World Behind (2023)
Great Potential, Flawed Execution
'Leave the World Behind' impresses with its stunning visuals and unique plot. The not so implausible setting is thought provoking, and the storyline stands out for its originality. However, the movie's potential is somewhat overshadowed by its overbearing approach to race discussions, which feel more like lectures than natural parts of the story, and if we're being honest is getting lazy and old.
Additionally, the character Ruth misses the mark. Her overly obnoxious portrayal detracts from the film's overall appeal, making it a challenge for viewers to stay engaged.
Overall, while the film excels in visual innovation, it struggles with narrative balance and an ending, resulting in a unfulfilling experience.
America the Beautiful (2022)
Beautiful cinema, why the voice?
The cinematography is stunning and perfectly edited. Really quite beautiful. However, it is ruined by the narration. Why in the world have Michael B. Jordan narrate it?? You might as well have had my neighbor, Frank do it. They have equally lackluster voices. Morgan Freeman too expensive??
