» In the realm of multi-genre cinema, Sam Esmail's latest directorial venture Leave The World Behind invites audiences into a suspenseful blend of sci-fi, mystery and psychological thriller set against the backdrop of a dystopian near future. Drawing parallels with Noah Baumbach's 2022 White Noise or Jordan Peele's Nope of the same year, the film unfolds a narrative that keeps viewers guessing from start to finish, but not without moments of frustration.

» If you've been following Noah Baumbach's work over the past few years -- including The Meyerowitz Stories (2017), Marriage Story (2019) and most recently White Noise (all of which are now available on Netflix) -- it's clear the American director can work nimbly across a range of genres.

» I was first introduced to Jordan Peele in his directorial debut Get Out in 2017. As soon as it came out, the film was an instant favourite and considered a trendsetter in the thriller, horror and dark comedy genre not because of its cinematography, suspenseful storyline or giving newcomers like Daniel Kaluuya a big break, but for being thought-provoking and weaving trenchant social critiques into an effective film. Despite being produced by horror studio Blumhouse, the film had the vibe of an A24 release instead.
