In this intimate story, based on the book My Abandonment by Peter Rock, Will (Ben Foster) is a military veteran battling PTSD who has been raising his teenage daughter, Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie), alone and off the grid for years in the forests of Portland, Oregon. When they are discovered living on public lands, they are moved via social services into work and housing placement. But the adjustment is not easy and may be impossible for one of them.

Slow and boring. On the flip side it was a clean movie with no curse words or immorality so that was great!

Although the dramatic scale of Leave No Trace is small as well, that trait should not be mistaken for insignificance. This film raises more questions than it answers, which can prove a turnoff to some viewers, but others will soak in its ambiguities long after the closing credits.

Leave No Trace is the story of a bond between a teenage daughter and her veteran father, but in the background is another kind of bond, something that keeps the world from spinning apart. That’s Granik’s subject, and Leave No Trace explores it simply but unforgettably.

The heart of Leave No Trace is the rapport between the father and daughter, and McKenzie and Foster are keyed to each other’s movements, perhaps even each other’s thoughts.
