Thomasin is really great. Co-written by Anne Rosellini from the novel 'My Abandonment' by Peter Rock, written from the point of view of the girl and with a quite different storyline I think.

Leave No Trace (2018 Debra Granik & co-scr)
She also made Winter's Bone, which shares a vision of the underbelly of America. Neglected Vietnam vet Ben Foster is living in the wild with his daughter Thomasin McKenzie; he can't settle down but she feels the tugs of normality. The ending is heart-breaking when you consider the inter-dependency of the couple; as Foster fades into the forest you also get a big feeling this ex-servicemen hasn't been looked after (what's the enigmatic newspaper headline, something like 'Suicide Follows Army Batallion'?) Funnily enough, El Camino Christmas also had a Vietnam sub-plot.
