    Year: 2018 Category: Drama.
    Director: Debra Granik. Cast: Ben Foster, Thomasin McKenzie, Jeff Kober, Dale Dickey, Peter James DeLuca, Ayanna Berkshire, Isaiah Stone, Dana Millican, Lane Stiemsma, Michael Draper, Kyle Stoltz, Tony Ruiz, Eric Sahlstrom.


    Plot

    A father and his 13 year old daughter live a quiet and happy life while they are isolated in a public park in Portland, Oregon, until a small mistake complicates their lives forever when they are stopped by the police.


    Opinion

    The film tells the Will and Tom story, a father and his daughter, who apparently live in a public park by their own decision, and I say apparently, because although it is obvious to the viewer that these characters do not have much money, the film does not either stops at no time to explain the events, motivations and problems of the characters, but simply narrates the events visually with the intention that the viewer answers the questions for himself.

    Soon, the authorities discover the camp they had in a public park, so they are arrested and forced to go through an inspection, after all, a man and a girl of 13 years living in the forest is somewhat suspicious, however, nothing bad happens. In this sense, the film does not hide anything, the story we see is exactly the story it is, there are no hidden plots waiting to come to light and surprise the viewer, the story we have here is simple but emotionally complex.

    Will is a man who wants to stay away from technology and civilization, live day to day, wake up in the morning, hunt and cook his own food, and Tom accompanies her father faithfully, however, she is not completely satisfied with the lifestyle they have, she wants to find a real home to stay and have a life like other people, her problem is that she must confront her father.

    In the film there are no unexpected turns and there are not many dialogues, in fact, we could say that it is slow and although the characters travel in beautiful places the director decides not to show us wide shots, I guess his point was not to show how beautiful nature is but its rebellion and how difficult it is to live a life far from civilization.

    Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie do a magnificent job here, if we take into account that the film does not have many dialogues and that the story is slow and routine and that even then these two actors perfectly convey the emotional depth that their characters must convey. In this sense, their acting work becomes fundamental to make the spectator not abandon the film. Not to mention a scene that takes place when the film is nearing the end in which the Ben and Thomasin performance simply left me speechless, a very emotional moment. Foster is still one of my favorite actors, and about miss McKenzi I think I've discovered a future great actress.

    Debra Granik, the director, does a great job here, although I think she could do better, in some moments the film feels like the protagonists journey, that is, without direction, as if it were going nowhere, and that makes that the viewer loses interest.

    Score

    7/10

    Acceptable direction, good script, excellent performances. A film without narrative or technical complexity but with emotional depth and a great performance of the actors at the moment of demonstrating it. At times it becomes repetitive and long, which tires the viewer, but recovers with some good moments, especially the end. I recommend this film to people who want to see a slow and emotional drama that proposes questions that the viewer must answer and not the film itself. At the time of publishing this review, this movie is available in the Canadian Netflix catalogue.

  2. Leave No Trace - Movie Review@coldsteem2906d

    Leave No Trace appeared in theaters with no fanfare. The film was adapted and directed by Debra Granik, who gave us the amazing film Winter's Bone several years ago. I almost missed this film, which played at my local independent theater. As a member of the veteran's group here on Steemit, I would encourage everyone (particularly veterans) to watch this heart-warming but difficult film.

    At it's heart, Leave No Trace is a love story. But it's a story rooted in reality. Because love does not always "conquer all." It is a story about a father's love and his struggles with PTSD. We know that there are a disproportionate number of veterans among America's homeless population. Normal coping mechanisms are sometimes lost in war. It seems that Will (Ben Foster) had some pretty serious events during his war-time service. It is inferred that his wife died at some point, leaving Will to raise his teenage daughter, Tom (Thomasin McKenzie). His love for his daughter is evident in every detail of survivalist existence. The pair live off the land in a state park in Portland, Oregon.

    In outward appearance, Will and Tom live the same life. But they exist in different worlds. Tom doesn't have PTSD. She doesn't have the social struggles her father has. She has the same normal need for social interaction that any teenager does. When the pair are discovered by park rangers, they are placed on paths bound to diverge. Their love for each other is an immensely strong bond that often overpowers the severe darkness in Will's soul, but possibly not strong enough to overpower the inevitable. A reality that Tom eventually embraces, allowing their deep care for each other to exist in the void between them.

    Leave No Trace is a hard story to watch. It is based on the book My Abandonment by Peter Rock. The story has a strong visual quality, opting at times for silence to move the story. While plodding at times, the film still feels like it forces us forward. We feel compelled to go places we don't really want to go. I felt myself attempting to will the story different directions. The film brings us intimately close to the two main characters and their struggles. Will's struggle with his tortured soul and Tom's struggle with her lack of stability and social interaction entangle us in a myriad of emotions as the pair navigate an uncertain and changing world around them. The story is compelling, although slow at times. It is too engaging for the pacing to take it off track. It feels like part of the struggle we become knotted up in.

    When I watched Winter's Bone, I talked a lot about a young, unknown actress named Jennifer Lawrence. It was obvious she had a bright future ahead of her. As a parallel to that story, Debra Granik found another teenage girl to carry her film. Thomasin McKenzie has a small body of work, none of it familiar to me. But she was perfectly cast in this role. She combined an innocence, tenderness and strength that seemed an odd combination together. But she pulled it off. Her resolve in the film seemed an interesting contrast to her innocence and vulnerability. She nailed the role. I can't wait to see her next work. Ben Foster was equally impressive. I can't imagine this role being better cast. Foster brought a brooding darkness to his role that felt genuine. Hollywood has a way of exaggerating PTSD that creates negative stereotypes. It was interesting to see the issue portrayed in the extreme, without the outward violence and complete dysfunction often associated with PTSD. Foster and McKenzie had great chemistry.

    While Leave No Trace deals with difficult issues like PTSD and homelessness, the film doesn't attempt to sensationalize the issues. The film takes a moderate approach, giving viewers a subdued and introspective view on the topic. With deep characters, we are drawn in without some of the violence, nudity, drug addiction or other issues common to today's cinema. This film manages to deliver a gripping story that could be shown on television without editing, in my opinion. The film managed a PG rating from the MPAA, mostly because the issues discussed are difficult issues. The most tense material likely being when Tom is questioned about her past. The film has a run time of one hour, 49 minutes.

    Leave No Trace is the type of film that appeals to the award committees. It is also the type that appeals to audiences, as difficult as the subject matter can be to wrestle with. The film already has a couple of minor nominations and wins, but I expect it to see some more widely recognized awards in its future. I was moved by this film. It hit close to home, but it also had value. It told a story without feeling the need to go too far. I was invested in this story. The characters mattered to me. Grazik has a way of delivering that. With careful casting choices and compelling subject matter, the film gives us a chance to reflect on big issues without banging us over the head. It was subtle but exceptional. 8/10.
