“Leave The World Behind” is in many ways a reflection of President Obama. For this film has all the expectations of being something great but ends as a big dud. Yes, it’s beautifully crafted with incredible sets but they are both basically empty at the end. The characters are more developed then the actually resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue but to what point! We expected so much more with this film yet at the end wondered what was truly the point of putting such trust in it. “Leave The World Behind” could truly have brought us together but in the end left the public feeling left behind.
** 1/2- Beautifully crafted and had it’s moments but never got to where we thought it should be. Yes, I’m giving it a star better rating than the one in 1600 Pennsylvania’s mirror because some of the movies moments were actually brilliant.
