Review of Leave No Trace (2018) by Kevin C — 19 Jan 2019
This could have been pretentious, but is a subtle, affecting tale. Debra Granik repeats her impressive Winter's Bone.
We are not sure why they are hiding (hints of PTSD), but the father/daughter appear content enough in their own private Eden in the Oregon woods.
The performances are sensational. Foster is a fiercely committed, frighteningly intense actor. And as Granik discovered Jennifer Lawrence in Winterâ(TM)s Bone, Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie dominates displaying intelligence, steeliness and maturity.
A real touching gem from 2018.
