Critics Consensus

Leave No Trace takes an effectively low-key approach to a potentially sensationalistic story -- and further benefits from brilliant work by Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie.

AMC at Times Square had the wrong movie. I went to see a movie with Ben Foster, but they showed a Boys Scout documentary instead... It was interesting but it's not what I intended to go see or what was advertised.

Such a great movie. Felt authentic and real. It’s crazy how people live off the grid like that.

This naturalistic wilderness drama about the very special relationship between a traumatized father and his fun-loving daughter is a convincing, quietly humanistic coming-of-age film.

With the high positive reviews I was expecting a good movie, however I have to agree with all those who found it long and boring!

Both performances are superbly acted by Foster and McKenzie, with McKenzie being the shining star. This is expected in Granik’s films now...

Rated: A

Robert Roten

Laramie Movie Scope

The writing and direction by Debra Granik is sharp and sure. This has the lean, spare look of a low-budget independent film, but it is emotionally rich and powerful.

Rated: B

Keith & the Movies

“Leave No Trace” struck a chord with me early, and I could feel its emotional tug all the way till the end. It’s not a movie deeply concerned with plot. Instead it is all about character.

Rated: 4.5/5
