With Debra Granik at the helm and co-writing the screenplay with Anne Rosellini, this acclaimed movie is adapted from Peter Rock's 2009 book My Abandonment, which itself springs from real-life events, reports .

In the realm of critical consensus, it reigns as the most applauded film with a flawless 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One critic raved: "Ben Foster gives the performance of his career – it's a knockout. Leave No Trace doesn't have a false note in it.

"Leave No Trace is a film that may have slipped under the radar, but it is worth seeking out because like Lynne Ramsay's stunning, You Were Never Really Here, this is a testament to the craftsmanship and unique vision of a female filmmaker," another added.

Manohla Dargis of The New York Times penned: "In its best moments, Leave No Trace invites you to simply be with its characters, to see and experience the as they do.

"Empathy, the movie reminds you, is something that is too little asked of you either in life or in art."

The film has earned a spot on many critics' top 10 lists.

Director Debra Granik conveys the hardship of an army veteran and his daughter who have been living in a public Park, bringing to life the novel My Abandonment by Peter Rock.

She is already an accomplished filmmaker having directed the Box Office smash Winter's Bone in 2010 and being responsible for propelling Jennifer Lawrence to fame for her role as Ree Dolly, in the production.

Leave No Trace is currently available to stream on Netflix.
