Captain Fantastic

I have to say a lot of the conflict would play out much different north of the border but I think that makes the message of this film that much better. Most outside America see the many faults of a broken nation.

Captain Fantastic is essentially propaganda. In short, it is aboutbthis family who rejects civilized society, so they decide tomlive in the wilderness where the father indoctrinates his children to worship communist dictators like Pol Pot and Mao Zedong, because America and Western Civilization are bad.

Story - 9/10 pros: this is a very touching story of a father doing his best to raise his children as he sees best (albeit not a way the average american might agree with). It's a really touching family tell that dives into the complexities of love and protecting the ones you love.

Honestly don't know how I missed this when it was first released I loved every seconds highs lows and plenty of laughs the whole cast is superb and a certain entry into my top 19 films of all time wouldn't change a thing about it!

Occasionally moving comedic drama that ultimately doesn't hit the heights of the superior Leave No Trace (which covers similar ground), lacking the latter's heft and transcendence. It doesn't really do justice the idea of the off-grid lifestyle, and nor does it properly interrogate it - meaning it ultimately feels more than a little naive.

Captain Fantastic (Matt Ross, 2016) fascinates from the start. He is fierce in criticism and delicate in family relationships that presents, which is one of the aspects that most shapes the long towards a distance of simple feelings.

An incredibly sweet love story between a father and his kids, CF was quirky, awkward, and sincere. Viggo had me rooting for and against him in the same instance, and the journey was entertaining throughout.

Love it when you watch a movie you have never heard much about and you're not expecting anything and it just carries you to an unbelievable pleasant place.This is up there with the best films I have seen in the past 25 years.

It is kinda fascinating insight into adaptation to modern society which is wicked, driven by consumerism and shielding from reality when it comes to education or just basic human nature.The part when contrasted with "modernly" raised family on the current culture is most telling how dull the culture actually is.
