Many people took to social media to express their polarizing opinions about the film, with many making the same complaint: the film simply can’t explain why it has a running time of 141 minutes.
For example, one viewer commented on what he saw on X:
Leave the World Behind is a strange, often funny, often silly film, but overall it is a cynical and confusing film. It’s all come to a head, and when it does, the end result is cartoonishly pessimistic and narratively inadequate. He couldn’t care less.
Another viewer complained:
I’m watching Leave the World Behind. I’ll tell you why that was a mistake: I want to watch something else because this movie is almost two and a half hours long.
Some went on to say that:
Leave the World Behind wasn’t bad, but it shouldn’t have been nearly 2.5 hours long. If you ask me, most movies should be no longer than 1 hour and 50 minutes. But no one asked me. So I will save you all the time.
