Sam Esmail's Mr. Robot started off as one of the best shows on TV, but soon devolved into a needlessly ambiguous, intellectually pretentious, and overlong melodrama. Unfortunately, that's the exact same fate which befalls Esmail's star-studded apocalyptic thriller for Netflix, Leave the World Behind. From Ethan Hawke and Kevin Bacon to Mahershala Ali and the audience themselves, everyone's time feels wasted here, except for Julia Roberts, who is excellent as an abrasive, misanthropic woman who's always on edge. Roberts is a courageous gem here, while everyone else seems to phone it in, though it's not like there's much of a script to work from.
