“Leave No Trace” Film Review

Leave No Trace was written and directed by indie filmmaker Debra Granik, best known for 2010’s Winter’s Bone, and is based on a book by Peter Rock. It stars Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie as a father-daughter duo who live in the wilderness and are forced to reintegrate into society. Granik has launched the careers of several young actresses with her films before (Vera Farmiga and Jennifer Lawrence in their breakthrough roles).
