Netflix fans have less than a week to watch highest rated Rotten Tomatoes film of all time
Netflix is removing one of the highest rated movies of all time which movie fans won't want to miss before it's gone. Netflix fans have been warned that one perfect scoring film is leaving the streaming platform in just a few days time. Leave No Trace has snagged a 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes but viewers have less than a week to watch the film before its taken off the streaming platform on June 30. The 2018 film follows a father and his teenage daughter who live deep in a municipal forest in Portland, Oregon and need to rely on survival skills to make it through their day to day lives. However, after they are seen by a member of public, their world is turned upside down as they are suddenly dragged back into the real world. Will, played by Ben Foster, suffers from PTSD after serving in the armed forces and he and his daughter, Tom, played by Thomasin McKenzie, struggle as they try to adapt to normal life. The movie follows their tumultuous journey after being discovered by authorities living off the grid, exploring their relationship and love itself, without becoming overly sentimental. Directed by Debra Granik, Leave No Trace was the highly anticipated follow-up to Winter's Bone, which featured Jennifer Lawrence in her breakout role, and was released eight years before in 2010, the Mirror reports. Granik also scored another impressive 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes for her documentary Stray Dogs about dog lover, motorbiker and veteran Ron Hall. Granik's double achievement is highly admirable considering the 100 per cent approval rating does not come around often. In fact only 68 films can claim the honour and when you think about how many movies exist, it makes the accolade that much more impressive. Only two titles from 2024 have made the list including All We Imagine as Light by Payal Kapadia, and Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Other famous films that have managed to snag a perfect score include Toy Story, Two Story Two, 12 Angry Men, Before Sunrise, Singin' in the Rain, Cool Hand Luke, The Terminator and Pinocchio. Leave No Trace has 252 reviews and they were all positive with one critic writing: "Leave No Trace, in the biggest of ironies, leaves the greatest of traces upon us."

A third remarked about the film: "Granik is one of the most distinctive filmmaking voices we have; I'd love to see her make more features but I'm also glad she takes the time to do them right." Leave No Trace is set to leave Netflix in just a few days time so viewers need to be fast if they want to catch the film before it goes.
