Leave the World Behind (2023)
I get it
I'm not sure why there are so many reviews saying they don't get it. The plot was pretty obvious to me. The movie isn't about solving what is happening, it's about how would we handle chaos? Would we lose our minds, fight with each other, kill each other, help each other, give up, wait and see? Basically it showed what happened in each instance. And in the end, those who refuse to give into chaos, and instead decide let's just hunker down and watch Friends will be okay, or at the very least, won't add to the chaos. It's a message about being kinder to each other, & not turning into animals. For example, every hurricane season everyone panics, buy up all the gas, all the water, all the toilet paper. Then everyone else can't go to work, can't use water bottles for baby formula, can't wipe our bums. But had everyone stayed calm instead of turning into savages, we all would have the supplies & security we need. Instead when chaos is introduced, we turn on each other, as we already turn on each other just in our daily lives now without outside threats even involved.
The little girl knew watching Friends made her happy, so that's what she did. She went, ate a bunch of junk food & watched a show that made her happy. She didn't add to the chaos. End of story. If you need a more exciting plot than that, & you need to leave a scathing review because it wasn't in depth enough for you, perhaps the point of the movie is even more important than people realize it is.
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)
Executed Perfectly
My oldest son is 10 & has been obsessed with FNAF since he was 5. He has been so excited to see this movie & as parents we were hoping it wouldn't be too gory. This was just the right amount of scary that he didn't want to walk to his room alone, but not enough he didn't need to sleep in my bed afterwards. That's a good level of scare, just enough he enjoyed it, not so much he couldn't watch it.
It also was entertaining enough we were able to watch it as a family. Matthew Lillard for the parents, Josh Hutchinson for the kids.
Visually the movie was flawless. & All your favorite bits were in the movie! We got to watch this the day before it came out on theaters due to streaming it on Peacock which was also really nice.
Overall the entire family was impressed & hoping for a sequel that's just as good!
