crloken 's review for:
The Leftovers
by Tom Perrotta
It's fine.
That is the problem though. It is hard for me to totally separate this from the superior tv series. The problem here is that he takes a fascinating premise with a lot of opportunities and then does incredibly little with it.
I like the exploration of various cults, but the central characters never came into their own and none of the various plots ever coalesce.
It lacks the surreal atmosphere of the show, as well as the show's exploration of grief, anger, religion, and philosophy.
I like the ending, but the whole work felt as though it was building up to something and it never got there.
The show is better in almost everyone way, just watch it.
