The film is based of the 2020 book of the same name, and industry critics are certainly liking it.

The new Netflix movie sits at an impressive 75 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, certainly making it a recommendation for fans.

Brain Lowry, from CNN, penned: "Whatever one takes away from it, Leave the World Behind should trigger conversations beyond whether to hit the 'like' button. By that measure, give Esmail credit for a movie that up, down or sideways, makes it hard to look away."

While the Independent's Clarisse Loughrey added: "America’s sweetheart [Julia Roberts] has sprinted over to the dark side, and it’s a thrill to see what she does with it."

But after watching Leave the World Behind, viewers all have the same question and it all revolves around the ending of the movie.

Many have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to discuss their views.
