Leave the World Behind (2023)
Sadly accurate!
This is the type of movie that depicts the current trends and behaviours sadly.. accurate. I read some of the other comments and someone said it best: this is the culture we're heading for.
I also noticed many low ratings and negative comments from people who didn't seem to understand this movie - people who don't ask themselves too many relevant questions, don't usually do any introspective, and don't accept other views but their own. Ironically, this movie is (mainly) about them.
However, these superficial individuals vote as well... so don't be fooled by the overall rating! This is a very good movie.
Kin (2021)
Very well built!
In my opinion, this one of the best built TV series lately. I like how the story is slowly revealed and yet each episode manages to keep you interested and looking forth to the next one.
Besides the fact that the shows brings together an excellent casting, each character has their unique charm and their dynamic is fascinating and complex. Obviously, each one has their own strengths and weaknesses, and these features are very well exposed with each new episode, making the picture bigger and bigger for the viewer.
The story line may seem pretty straightforward at first, but just as in real life, not very much ever goes as planned. But if you are looking for a faster pacing rate, this is not one of those shows where somebody gets chased, mugged or shot at every 3 minutes. The expectations, when you first start watching this, may give you the impression that this is just another mob flick showing a lifestyle filled with violence, abuse, death and everything that falls in between. It's not Snatch, it's actually more like The Sopranos had a baby with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It's very much lifelike, where even the greatest mobsters had/have a family, personal issues, a past that may or may not still haunt them.. and how their "work" affects their personal lives.
If patience if not one of your virtues, I would recommend skipping this TV show.. and books! :) But if you are looking for something well written, with a complex development and a story line with a certain depth, I highly recommend watching this TV series! I just finished the 1st season and I have to say that I enjoyed it greatly! Looking forth to the next one! I hope it won't get cancelled like so many other great ones!
