Captain Fantastic (review)

Viggo Mortensen plays the free-thinking father of 6 kids who live in the woods. When their mother dies, they board their bus to pay their respects. While the kids are all intellectually accomplished and physically trained, their encounters with civilization (and their mother’s relatives) prove challenging. This unique story is filled with moments that are charming and captivating, thanks partly to the sweet, sensitive performances of the children (and Mortensen, of course). There may be scenes that strain credibility, but the way the story is told provides a fascinating and ultimately engaging look at a very special family.
