Leave no trace is a touching and moving study of the relationship between a veteran and his daughter both of whom live off grid together. Refreshingly, there are no bad guys in this movie - just gentleness, compassion and love (even from those associated with the authorities).Actingwise, it's some of Foster's best work. Portraying someone broken by war, he could have been a lot less restrained. McKenzie, however, has the makings of a real superstar. She's extraordinarily good - especially considering her relative youth.
Lastly, a word on the scenery and cinematography. The forest looks absolutely beautiful and near mystical in this film. Some shots are worthy of Planet Earth.
Verdict: Deeply moving and compassionate.
