Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2778370, member: 7894"] "Leave No Trace" is really good. One of the quietest, most understated films I've seen. Slow paced, but I found it mesmerizing and heartbreaking. Great performances from both leads. Ben Foster has been doing good work for years. Wasn't aware of Thomasin McKenzie before but she appears to have a bright future. The director is known for "Winter's Bone," which was also very well crafted and launched the career of Jennifer Lawrence. Foster is a military vet suffering from PTSD and unable to fit into normal society. McKenzie is his teenage daughter. They live off the grid, moving periodically and camping in forests. They get caught illegally camping in Forest Park in Portland and hit the radar of the CPS system, starting the plot of the movie moving forward. It's relatively early in the year, but if this doesn't score multiple Oscar nominations I'll be disappointed. [/QUOTE]
