I love Ben Foster and, after reading Brittani's review on Rambling Films, I was really looking forward to seeing Leave No Trace. Unfortunately, like most of the times I want to see a movie on the big screen, there wasn't a single screening in my city so I had to wait. In the meantime, my expectations kept rising as I've read nothing but great things about the film only to be crashed while watching it.
The story follows Will (Ben Foster), an Iraq War veteran suffering from PTSD, who lives off the grid in an urban park in Portland, Oregon, with his teenage daughter, Tom (Thomasin McKenzie). One day, Tom is accidentally spotted in the woods by a jogger, and soon after they are picked up by social services and forced to integrate into society. While Tom begins to connect with others, Will struggles to adapt.
