About this movie

Based on Peter Rock's novel My Abandonment, LEAVE NO TRACE revolves around a teenage girl (Thomasin McKenzie) and her father (Ben Foster) who have lived undetected for years in Forest Park, a vast wood on the edge of Portland, Oregon. A chance encounter leads to their discovery and removal from the park and into the charge of a social service agency. They try to adapt to their new surroundings until a sudden decision sets them on a perilous journey into the wilderness seeking independence and forcing them to confront their conflicting desire to be part of a community or a fierce need to live apart.

A story that understands the real hardship of motivation versus acceptance. Every performance is bang on target. It's very clear that the screenplay was written from a position of knowledge - whether emotional or physical. There are few harder things to accept than the fact that someone we care deeply about must be allowed to move on. If you're a father it's heartbreaking - because the chosen dynamic is that of a child and their parent. But you don't need to have children to understand and sympathise with the feeling of someone feeling in the wrong place - whilst not being able to find their own.

This is currently my favourite film. I love movies about the American wilderness. I'm not really an expert critic but I noticed the 1 star ratings were mainly people looking for action and who ended up disappointed. This was a ver moving story about the relationship between a father and daughter.
