The One About The Thing

  2. Never have I more yelled “What the fuck is happening?!” at a movie, often several times in a row within moments of each other.

  3. I’ve never more wished I’d watched a movie in a theater with an audience, because see point number two above.

That’s it. That’s the whole of my review, such as it is, of Sam Esmail’s Leave the World Behind, available now on Netflix.
