It might sound like a CSI-style procedural on 5USA (“Previously on ‘Leave No Trace’”), but co-writer/director Debra Granik’s film ploughs a subtler, more rewarding trail. Her first fiction feature since 2010’s Winter’s Bone, which launched the career of Jennifer Lawrence, it ploughs a similar vein of rural American drama but lands on a tender portrait of a father and daughter in transition. It is small and, story-wise, slight, but quietly powerful in its detail and compassion.
