    Just rewatched Leave No Trace (2018), a film that made a big impression on me the first time. Wonderful stuff. Thomasin McKenzie with the greatest all-time performance by a child? Not sure, but I think it’s in the conversation, buddy.

    File under: Man, they grow up so fast! This past week I’ve learned that Thomasin McKenzie, the actor who plays young Tom (early teens, I’d say) in Leave No Trace, portrays adults in the movie Joy (Jean Purdy) and the TV series Life After Life (adult Ursula) based on Kate Atkinson’s terrific novel.

    I mention this at the end of my piece, but the film that came to mind with the Barfoot was Debra Granik’s LEAVE NO TRACE, where the military veteran father and his teenage daughter are living off-grid in a massive woodland park in Oregon - plus what happens when their needs diverge.

    I hate it when I hear about new books or authors I would totally love ... the day after I just ordered a new shipment of books. Sigh. Anyway, has anyone read Peter Rock (a Portlander!), by any chance? His book My Abandonment was turned into the movie Leave No Trace. His work sounds great.

    (4/6) “Leave No Trace” is a #war movie without warfare 🌲 The emerald forest shelters the isolated father–daughter pair, but the wilderness cannot offer a compromise for what is hurting both of them 🏕️

    I forgot to mention that Peter Rock is the author of My Abandonment, which is what the (fantastic) movie Leave No Trace is based on. The book was inspired by the true story of a father and daughter who lived in Portland’s Forest Park until caught. They got away and were never heard from again.

    63.  Leave No Trace (Netflix, 2018) Rewatched this brilliant film because Michael Hurley is in it, with Marisa Anderson. Director Debra Granik marries a documentary style to a delicate touch and real insight, and Thomasin McKenzie is this film's equivalent of JLaw in Granik's awesome Winter's Bone

    I'm a cis dude, and I found the entire film deeply unsettling the same way I found the film Leave No Trace deeply unsettling. I would not classify either as a horror film, but I don't know how to categorize them beyond that.

I watched it because it has a cameo by one of my favorite musicians, relatively unsung Portland OR genius Michael Hurley, singing his beautiful song O My Stars, but it's excellent and worth watching in itself. It's a gentle but hard hitting story about the emotional tolls homelessness and PTSD take on families and especially children and the damage that carceral state social service institutions do to exacerbate everything.…

    Watched Good One Lovely pastoral film that sits between Old Joy and Leave No Trace,where Sam(Lily Collias) about to go to college,goes on hike with her Dad and his semi-toxic old friend. The men are competitive while Sam wants to connect with Dad then something happens. Low key, but intimate: a joy

    Streaming Suggestion Leave No Trace McKenzie deserves all the plaudits she got for this role, but it's Foster (perhaps the best, and certainly for me the most underrated American actor in his age group) and the dynamic between them that makes the film tick. One of the best of its decade. On ITVX.

    Deeply respectful of its subject > Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs. Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
