Leave No Trace (2018)

Drama without caricatures and cliches

It's an unusual story of a man and his daughter living in a park. Their habitat is illegal, so they are forced out, but the man isn't able to cope.

The film is free from the usual cliches and the stereotypical characters and events you might expect. The story centres on the daughter, and is very simple and natural.

It's an interesting story, worth watching to the end. The actors are all remarkable.

One thing to note, it is based on a true story, but the story is actually just three newspaper reports that the writer of the novel read before writing a fiction based on the events, so it's not closely based on any real case.
