This is hands-down the best movie I've seen all year. I cannot recommend Captain Fantastic enough. I was thinking about this movie for weeks after I'd seen it, purely because it's filled with so much that I want to aspire to. It's something I've never seen before and it's executed in a way that was completely new to me. A family living in the wilderness and completely independent of the outside world although they are totally aware of it-- I can't think of a better plot to convey the important messages that Captain Fantastic does. It is my quintessential family film. Nothing in this movie was bad. I probably loved this movie so much because I agree with pretty much all of the ideology that is presented to be our main characters' beliefs. I love that they only use bows and knives to kill animals. I love that, while they have intense physical training and are incredibly fit, they also have scheduled time to meditate. I love that they are taught to resist 'the man' but in a smart and non aggressive way. I love this hippie, hyper-intelligent, rouge family and you should too.
