This touching father/daughter-story, which stars Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie, reaches into the disillusioned world of America's current underclass. Citizens who for one reason or another have slipped off the grid and found new ways of sharing time and responsibility.
Debra Granik's work in unison with writer/producer Anne Rosselini is proof that character dramas about love and loyalty will never get old.
In order to avoid giving too much away I want to stop here describing the film.
But I can safely say, that if you've enjoyed "Winter's Bone" you will feel right at home in this movie. It's pace is slow but deliberately so. The acting never misses a beat, the camera respects the characters spaces and lets the story go places, without any plot contrivances or false pretense.
These are the truly forgotten people and they don't belong to any political spectrum but are the ones that need society's clearest understanding without any judgement.
"Leave No Trace" is worth following.
