“Leave No Trace” Tells the True-ish Story of a Father and Daughter Living in Forest Park and Avoids Local Color
Leave No Trace, director Debra Granik’s adaptation of the 2007 novel My Abandonment, digs deep into the lingering questions raised by the pair’s sudden disappearance. But locals wondering about the fate of Tom (Thomasin McKenzie) and her troubled dad, Will (Ben Foster), shouldn’t anticipate any easy answers. Leave No Trace is a dreamy, nuanced reverie that’s dismissive of plot and shy on local color.
