Village Voice
Granik films with subtlety and quiet grace, but Leave No Trace explodes in the mind. - 91
The Playlist
Leave No Trace is a universal, unforgettable experience. - 90
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The heart of Leave No Trace is the rapport between the father and daughter, and McKenzie and Foster are keyed to each other’s movements, perhaps even each other’s thoughts. - 90
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie takes its time, but in its unassuming way, draws you close and keeps you there. - 83
The A.V. Club
Moving, perhaps inevitably, toward a final fork in the woods, Leave No Trace condenses big questions into something simple and quietly powerful: two people bonded by blood and shared history, discovering how their needs align and diverge. - 83
The Film Stage
Leave No Trace’s acute sense of place and how people relate to it makes for great, emotion-laden naturalism. - 80
Screen Daily
It’s a film that never overwhelms but it lingers, leaving its mark on the viewer. - 75
IndieWire
Leave No Trace sprouts into a modest but extraordinarily graceful film about what people need from each other, and the limits of what they can give of themselves.
