Review of Leave No Trace (2018) by Jake C — 28 Nov 2018

Reminiscent in its empathetic treatment of culturally invisible subjects of the work of Sean Baker, though more meditative and muted, the film forces you to mediate questions of societal mores and ethical expectations.

Will has raised a kind, intelligent, self-reliant daughter in Tomï¿ 1/2"does that not make him a good father, even if he does not provide a traditional shelter and consistently puts her in a physically precarious situation? Like animals, they live quietly, unnoticed by neighbors, with little impact on their environmentï¿ 1/2"yet the scars and traces of mankind's savagery (war being a distinctly human affair) haunt Will ceaselessly, without prospect of escape.
