Movie #1697 "Leave No Trace" was an indie film that has won several awards (including spirit awards the night before the oscars) and it was starring Ben Foster, one of my favorite actors, so I have been waiting to see it --- got it from redbox recently, and watched it. It is very slowly paced, with little dialogue, full of a lot of nature shots and focus on the two characters. You see how they live in a park on a daily basis until they get caught and thrown into a system that is set up on the outside to look lifesaving, but on the inside, can put stress and limitations on the people just trying to survive. He has PtSD and is trying to raise his daughter with that baggage, and as she grows to a teen, he finds it hard to justify that kind of life for her, as well. It's a very emotional ending, but one that had to happen, and I'm glad I got a chance to see this. Not for everybody, but I found it quite enlightening and one people can talk about for a while. I give it 4 stars out of 5.
"LEAVE NO TRACE" 2018 1 hour and 49 mins
For survivalist Will and his teenage daughter, living off the grid means residing in a nature reserve on the edge of a city -- a lifestyle that suits them until they're discovered and forced into the social services system.
