Less than fantastic


Captain Fantastic (2016)

Written & directed by Matt Ross, this film stars Viggo Mortensen, George MacKay, Samantha Isler, Annalise Basso and Fank Langella. A man raises his children in the woods with little contact with society but has to take them into the world for their mother's funeral.

While providing an unusual set up to explore the film never really seriously challenges its core concepts. This is more of a self congratulatory look at the alternative life style than a serious exploration of the possibilities. Not a bad watch but in the end pretty light weight.

3/5
