I liked everything about this movie except the husband character ("Junior" played by Paul Mescal) who is so incredibly unlikable, he ruins the entire movie.
Saoirse (pronounced "Sur-Sha") Ronan ("Hen" the wife) is terrific. And obviously, her character is clearly too good for her childish, selfish, inconsiderate jerk of a husband. Even in this apocalyptic wasteland, most wives would have left this idiot. Obviously she can work and support herself. And she's portrayed as intelligent and talented.
There are other questions --- what government official shows up at night when everybody is asleep?
And I didn't buy that she fell in love with the replacement. Because he was a jerk also.
I only gave it a 7 because of the husband character. The movie moved a little slow at times. And I expected the big twist/reveal at the end. Otherwise I would have given it a 10.
I mainly watched because of Saoirse Ronan. She was terrific.
7/10
Have you seen it?
What did you think?

So is it better than the Julia Roberts movie? It's going to be a matter of taste. I liked it better. But, there is less action. It's a more mature, psychological study than "Leave the World Behind". I thought Leave the World Behind had an interesting premise. But the characters were a turnoff to me. There are less characters in Foe. One was very appealing to me. One was a complete turnoff. Two different kinds of movies. I liked both. But I liked Foe better because of Saoirse Ronan. But that's just me. Leave the World Behind got a better rating on IMDb. (Foe 5.4, Leave the World Behind 6.5)
