Leave No Trace centres around Will (Ben Foster) and his teenage daughter, Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie), who have been living off the grid in a huge park where they largely keep out of the way of society, although sometimes they do hide in plain sight, such as a trip on the Portland tram, or going down the shops.
The premise is that they’ve been doing for some time, and it’s fairly early on when they’re discovered, and that’s fine for this film as you get the idea it’s been a long-term situation for them, and so don’t need to sit through an hour of forest living to have that brought across to you.
