Critics Consensus: Leave No Trace takes an effectively low-key approach to a potentially sensationalistic story -- and further benefits from brilliant work by Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie.

Ryan McQuade

Both performances are superbly acted by Foster and McKenzie, with McKenzie being the shining star. This is expected in Granik’s films now...

The writing and direction by Debra Granik is sharp and sure. This has the lean, spare look of a low-budget independent film, but it is emotionally rich and powerful.

“Leave No Trace” struck a chord with me early, and I could feel its emotional tug all the way till the end. It’s not a movie deeply concerned with plot. Instead it is all about character.

Ben Foster gives the performance of his career – it’s a knockout. Leave No Trace doesn’t have a false note in it.

Granik brilliantly delivers the viewer into the characters' spatially and socially secluded world, making otherwise normal, crowded living environments seem oppressive and even dangerous by comparison.
