In this episode of the show we are joined by our good friend Hillary to talk about Leave No Trace, Debra Granik's drama about a man and his daughter living off the grid. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Granik's filmmaking being rooted in sociopolitical activism, Ben Foster's performance as a traumatized vet and Thomasin McKenzie's understated brilliance., as well as the fact the general audiences did not respond to this film as well as critics did. We also talk again about PTSD, how state-backed safety nets have flaws, the importance of socialized upbringing of children and how a single visual may be worth more than a scene full of dialogue.
Tune in and enjoy!
