Leave No Trace (2018)

Director: Debra Granik. Cast: Thomasin McKenzie, Ben Foster. 109 min. Rated PG. USA/Canada. Drama.

With a PG movie by the director of Winter's Bone boasting a shocking 100% score, you'd expect one of the greatest family movies ever made ... not. A father and daughter living in the Oregon wilderness (à la Captain Fantastic) are being chased by officials into normalcy - the imposing father doesn't want to hear it, the timid daughter does. The struggle between the two is the story core, and the resolution to the struggle, the ending. And while the acting skills of newcomer McKenzie are impressive, this is in no way the movie everyone should be flocking to see.
