That excitement will slowly dissipate over this genre film\u2019s 93-minute runtime. Kevin\u00a0Bacon and David Koepp may not work enough, but they should both be working on better projects than this one.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Working from a novella by Daniel Kehlmann (although a cursory look at that source&#8217;s plot online reveals\u00a0some pretty major\u00a0changes),\u00a0&#8220;You Should Have Left&#8221; stars Bacon as\u00a0a screenwriter named Theo Conroy, who has become more famous due to the headline-grabbing death of his wife. She took a few too many pills and drowned in a bathtub, leading to a high-profile trial against Theo, accused of contributing to her death. Theo has always professed his innocence, but as his new wife Susanna (Amanda Seyfried) says to her daughter Ella (Avery Tiiu Essex), sometimes people just believe the accusations. Susanna is an actress and what could politely be called a non-character. In her first major scene, Theo goes to the set and hears her filming a sex scene. On the way home, they pull over so Susanna can have real sex with her husband to affirm his manhood. There\u2019s a commentary here about an older man and a younger woman whom he sees purely as object of his ego, but the film doesn\u2019t do enough to unpack it. Instead, it\u00a0lingers in the air like a bad smell, and is\u00a0used her for a jealousy subplot so Theo can be distracted by wondering if she&#8217;s cheating on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Theo, Susanna, and Ella need to get away from it all, and so they rent a secluded home in Wales. While that de<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion may conjure images of pastures and sheep, the house actually looks like something far more Los Angeles with sleek lines, cold lighting, and blank walls. And it, well, doesn\u2019t fit together. From the minute the trio gets there, they comment on how it seems so much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Before he can wonder if his daughter has The Shining, Theo is drawn into a house that\u2019s basically playing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s with him. Doors open to staircases that can\u2019t possibly be there; lights go on and off on their own; and someone wrote \u201cLeave You Should Leave Go Now\u201d in Theo\u2019s notebook. Of course, he should follow those instructions. Of course, he doesn\u2019t.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou Should Have Left\u201d keeps with Blumhouse\u2019s concept of low budget and possibly high reward in that there\u2019s a very limited cast and only one major setting, but that structure doesn&#8217;t cover up\u00a0the mistakes. Sadly, Koepp can\u2019t give the house the personality of the Overlook or even the residences from Blumhouse hits like \u201cSinister\u201d or \u201cParanormal Activity.\u201d The idea that a house could play with space and time is a creative one, but Koepp is too literal a filmmaker to send \u201cYou Should Have Left\u201d down the surreal hallways it needs to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> in order to work. This is\u00a0the kind of boring film that demands ADR in which Bacon says \u201cThis is definitely not happening\u201d to convey a sense of urgency that\u2019s just not being conveyed through\u00a0the filmmaking. Everything here feels timid and toothless, lacking in true atmosphere or genuine scares.   <\/p>\n<p>Even Bacon seems lost, unable to sell the im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>cy of the film\u2019s more intense moments, which come way too late anyway. &#8220;You Should Have Left&#8221;\u00a0might have worked as a tighter episode of an anthology <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> but doesn\u2019t have nearly enough meat on its bones for a feature length. If it were playing in theaters, you might be tempted to leave, but you\u2019ll probably be home already when you choose to turn it off. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Brian Tallerico\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/brian-tallerico\/featured_BT2019.jpg\" title=\"Brian Tallerico\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brian_Tallerico\"><\/span>Brian Tallerico<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Brian Tallerico is the Editor of RogerEbert.com, and also covers television, film, Blu-ray, and video games.
