I just spent a week in Asheville, NC (awesome place by the way) and went to a little independent movie theater and caught a 4:30 showing of this movie. Hands down the best movie of the year so far!! Please give this movie a try when it comes out. You won't regret it.

This films and First Reformed are my top two so far this year. Have to pick this up as soon as there is a price drop.

Just saw this for the first time. Fantastic movie! Didnt know it was by the same director as Winter's Bone, but it made so much sense when I found out afterwards. Both leads were incredible, they both acxonplish so much with so little dialogue. I was especially impressed by the girl.. she was really great, Oscar nod worthy imo! Movie itself is top 5 of the year for me so far

Definitely buying this!

This was a great flick. I'm not sure if it's one that I'll revisit over and over again on Blu-ray, because it's more of one-and-done type of great, but still...

Here's my review that I wrote after my theatrical viewing...

Will, a father played by Ben Foster (Hell or High Water), and Tom, his 13 year-old daughter, played by Thomasin McKenzie, live off of the grid in the expansive wilderness of a national park near Portland, Oregon. Their daily routine consists of foraging for food, building campfires, repairing leaks in their tent, reading, playing chess, and enjoying a existence of idyllic isolation. Ever so often, they venture into the city, where Will visits a Veterans Affairs hospital for post-traumatic stress disorder medications and then sells those medications to fellow vets in a nearby tent city in exchange for cash to buy meager supplies for their otherwise self-sufficient life under the trees.

Life changes quickly for this father and daughter when they are discovered by local authorities and ushered into a world of well-intended, but overwhelming bureaucracy, complete with social workers, a juvenile detention center, computerized psychological tests, endless forms about school admission and work programs, and constant inquiries about their unusual life choices. They are reunited shortly after and sent to live on a farm where Will is given probationary employment, but the experience causes a rift in their relationship. The adolescent Tom, who has never lived outside of the forest until now, is eager to make her place among others in the world around her, while Will visibly struggles to reconcile his desire for invisibility with his new life under a roof.

I have always been fascinated with movies about people living unconventional lives in the margins of society or outside the realms of comfort enjoyed by the masses. Leave No Trace, the latest work from director Debra Granik, who also explored existence between the cracks of America with her critically-acclaimed 2010 film, Winter's Bone, is a masterful family drama that avoids the pitfalls of overt emotional manipulation or didactic social criticisms in favor of a leisurely-paced low-key tale that allows us to feel our way around its parameters of our own accord, just as McKenzie's Tom adapts to her new surroundings with calmly genuine interest. We are only given occasional hints at a backstory or at the complexities of character interactions, but no additional information is needed as the camera quietly follows our two leads, both of whom convey all that we need to know by way of their eyes and their mannerisms.

You will not see any explosions, spaceships, or superheroes in Leave No Trace, but I'll venture to guess that most viewers will be all the more enthralled with its beautiful minimalism.

Wonder why there is no love on here for this movie. It seems very highly rated, yet my reply is only the 5th.

Maybe others are thinking like me, might be an awesome movie but not much replay value?

I think I’ll wait to find it cheap digitally or wait until it hits $10.

Yeah... I liked it but it's not something I ever need to see again.

Steamboat Willie · 10-28-2018, 09:06 PM

Saw it a couple weeks ago and thought it was really good. Definitely a different kind of film with a unique atmosphere. Can't say that I'd want to watch it over and over but it's absolutely worth watching once.

maverick22 · 12-13-2018, 04:34 AM

Finally picked this up after seeing it didn’t even go on sale for BF. Best Buy PM’d Amazon’s $17.73.

Looking forward to watching this one! I have a daughter (only child) and at times I feel like just sheltering her and isolating her from all the evil in the world. I home schooled her for a year and a half and am as close to a child a father could be!

Surprised I waited this long to buy it. Will try to watch it this weekend.

cakefactory · 12-13-2018, 05:20 AM

Even as a non-parent this really moved me and made me feel really protective and proud of the main character, she’s so well-drawn. I loved the lack of explanation on some aspects of the plot. This is easily my favorite movie of the year so far.

Some people will shake their heads and roll their eyes at this question, but... can anyone tell me if the Rotten Tomatoes logo seen on the image of the cover is a STICKER or if it's part of the artwork?

Words cannot express how much I loathe that damn thing, for how ugly it is and how terribly it destroys any kind of artistic aesthetic the cover designer ever had in mind.

If it's a sticker, I'll buy. If it's part of the artwork, I'll consider renting, or just stream it. (And that's a pretty drastic decision in my household.)

Hi, Sorry to say it’s part of the artwork...and yes a real eye sore!

Does anyone know why Universal cropped the entire movie?
