This unconventional family drama addresses a host of poignant issues (some flattering, some critical) on both ends of the social and ideological spectra, raising valid points for consideration and debate (one can only hope, though, that a currently polarized America will have the patience to take the time to listen to each side). With gorgeous cinematography, an engaging script, subtle humor and a number of genuinely moving moments, this seasonal surprise is well worth a look.… Expand

We admired the stunning acting of Viggo and the delightful kids, specially Saja, The grandfather’s role did not fall into the expected cliché of the firm rigid man, rather a mild portrayal of one who understands the specific type of life the family has chosen with a soft objection to it.
The comic dialogues and humorous scenes were ticklish and eyebrow-lifting sometimes (Saja’s shocking commentaries) and the sad moments (the father driving back alone) were aspects that highlights the moral and ethical values of the movie and render it close to the heart while engaging the mind in the constant comparison between two opposites worlds.
My objections are; it should have a better title, Captain Fantastic sounds like a title for a comic book! and why it is listed at the bottom of the movies in the theatre?
Probably the last scene should be the family dancing around their mother’s corpse and the eldest son going to the university.
This last scene of the children sitting around a table while their father telling them to get ready to school appears static and a normal.
But it is a movie that deserves to be watched and admired.… Expand

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.… Expand

Is there any effort in giving it a great score? I thought so because Captain Fantastic manages to be an actual fantastic movie for once in a lifetime. Watch it if you can.

In “Captain Fantastic” Viggo Mortensen, as Ben Cash, is a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination and, possibly, winning the statute! Always an excellent actor here he is even one step better than other times. Besides holding your attention in everyIn “Captain Fantastic” Viggo Mortensen, as Ben Cash, is a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination and, possibly, winning the statute! Always an excellent actor here he is even one step better than other times. Besides holding your attention in every scene he is in, including, yes, his required full frontal nudity shot, there are two short scenes that will mesmerize you with one being the screen filled with his full face from the chin up that expresses pain, hurt and puzzlement so distinctively you won’t be able to miss what is going through his emotions. In the second scene, with his son, played by George Mackay, who should certainly get a supporting nomination, they are both so forceful in what they feel you won’t breathe until the camera moves on to the next scene.
The story is a simple one of a couple who raise their 6 kids, ranging in ages from about 5-18, in the mountains and forests of the upper Northwest away from civilization. They are taught survival, are home schooled and in the evening they read, eat, play music and talk politics, philosophy and whatever else is on their mind. The opening scene is one of the oldest son becoming a ‘man’ by killing a deer for food, which, thankfully, is over quickly.
Their mother has been away for 3 months in the hospital for a bipolar condition and they are all shocked, including dad, when his sister, Kathryn Hahn, calls to tell him that their wife/mother had committed suicide. Though his father-in-law, Frank Langella, doesn’t want him coming to the funeral he has all intentions of fulfilling his wife’s Last Will and Testament and so he piles the kids into their school bus camper and takes them into the outside world.
“Captain Fantastic” is a roller coaster ride having you gasping by the deer, or other animal, killing followed by the laughing of the youngest asking “What is sexual intercourse?” or her older brother kissing a girl for the first time and then tears streaming down your face as you realize that as much as Ben loves his kids he may be hurting them more and could lose them.
In a cast of standouts, including all the kids and Steve Zahn along with Ann Dowd, the dominating figure is Viggo Mortensen followed closely by George MacKay’s performance. Each of the kids have a chance to shine whether it is using the ‘f’ word, in a funny way, or a teenage girl discussing “Lolita” and her feelings about the old man or a boy, not knowing how to deal with death, ‘turning’ on his father.
“Captain Fantastic” just misses being an excellent film due to a bad musical soundtrack, being a few minutes too long and turning to a ‘Hollywood’ ending which wasn’t needed.
The film is rated R due to Mortensen’s full frontal nudity, language, adult themes and talk, the latter mainly by the kids dealing with mature subjects.
Years ago I said I would stop going to the movies if Charlize Theron didn’t win the Oscar for “Monster” and at this point I feel the same way about Mortensen’s performance!.… Expand

This much buzzed about Sundance hit works on many levels, thanks mainly to Viggo Mortensen's charming and often times gripping performance, as well as the performances from the actors who played his six children. The film's story however felt a little uneven at times and unsure of where to go or what to say. Granted however, there were also many times where it had its fair share of both funny and heartbreaking moments. Overall, it's a decent enough film worth seeing if you want to see Mortensen in another great dramatic turn that has some fun, quirky moments to spare.… Expand

Certainly there are many comical scenes which would make laugh even a calm person. But the movie raises a lot of problems, and it ask a viewer to make his/her own opinion - it does not have good or bad characters. Probably, a viewer would determine each character by themselves according to his/her own preferences and beliefs. All in all, actors play their characters very well - even the smaller children. It is also interesting, how some dialogues which do not have much sense in the first half of film receive their own resemblance in the events of the film later, obtaining a rather serious meaning, if you watch the film carefully, of course. It is not the movie to relax and at certain points it should make you sad or even cry, if you are sentimental one. But you should stay aware that this movie is not about its plot - its about showing the situation, around which script is written. You should not expect much of the development - you mostly get to know different sides of characters and obtaining your own opinion about them.
I would suggst this movie to almost anyone, but not when you want to relax and ave a lil'bit o'laughter with a couple of friends. Get ready to watch it closely, or you might just as well stay dissatisfied, because by watching casually you can't get it at all.… Expand

Featuring a phenomenal leading turn from Viggo Mortensen, Captain Fantastic is a funny, charming, and moving little indie film from writer and director Matt Ross. A terrific calling card for future success, Ross has established himself as a man to watch with a nearly phenomenal work that is his most mainstream film to date. The entire cast is more than able in this little indie film about a man and his kids who live in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. An incredibly philosophical film about child rearing, acceptance, and balance, the film is incredibly well-written with its characters carrying a considerable amount of nuance. Nobody is all good and nobody is all bad, instead there is an incredible amount of things we will never understand about those we encounter. The film does a great job balancing these themes, while still telling a truly engaging story and building a world that we can really dive into and enjoy. Overall, Captain Fantastic is a sneaky little indie film that has flashes of brilliance, but its ending is a really let down.… Expand

It talks about the problems today's society, from media to education. It brings up a strong argument. Everyone thinks kids should take today's standard education. And the movie highlights the point that an average kid today knows jack **** ****
I do not imply home school is better than school but there is a major flaw in our current education systems.
Kids know nothing. They might know something but most important, we do not teach them to think. Kids don't do enough exercise, do not know how to survive, do not know discipline.
I like the movie to put that education to that extreme, to bring up the controversy. It is that to start a discussion. I would argue if the character is smart enough to incorporate both his home school with actual school. It will be too perfect and end the discussion.
What it brings out is if you teach your kids 'properly' i.e. to read, to think critically, to understand, there are a lot the kids can get from it (and the current education fails to deliver, the so call education experts can shut up, I do not care about your statistic, the fact is kids have a problem). However, it also demonstrates the other extreme of home school which is the lack of social interaction. I think this movie should spark a discussion on our current education system.
I believe in the state, people need to declare.
I declare I am working in a university. Teaching final year undergraduate and I can tell you how many useless undergraduates have been award a certificate and pumped into the society.
No offence, even the best universities in the world, (e.g. Oxford, Cambridge, Yale or Harvard, etc). These universities bring up great and smart graduates which will help to explore and develop knowledge. But in the meantime, there are a **** ton of dumb****s also graduate at the same time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hmm.

Initially one sees this idyllic rustic lifestyle. Fantastic scenic shots and a family living off the land. Kids obediently following dad in a cult like fashion. Nice, fit and well read. Experts on every subject from quantum physics to political systems.

As the movie progresses we see the family have morals that I for one disagree with.

Happy to steal and lie.
Somehow the mothers Buddhist faith belief is to be defended to the hilt but Christians are to be made fun of and of course in this day of political correctness the Muslims are not even mentioned.
Father is at least willing to kill someone else's sheep.
Walk around naked in the caravan park. (Do it at home if you like)
Disrespecting the lifestyle of a family that they stay the night with.

We also discover that all is not well in the family dynamic. At the start of the movie we discover that mom is in hospital with bipolar or something and has been there for 3 months. Then slits her wrists. 3 months and no visits from the family that she so loves? Later we discover that mom has been going behind the not to be disobeyed dad and helping oldest son to enter university.

So is he really a fantastic captain or a man with a utopian dream that is perverted by the power of being god of his own little kingdom.… Expand

It's used as a joke (how dumb this country is!) and as a way of courting empathy through the shared sense of superiority the audience has following this family as the protagonist. It's also outrageously unbelievable -- the kids all know like 6 languages, have read all great works of literature, play instruments, are up to date on all monthly periodicals and science magazines, oh right and outrageously fit and well-fed and know how to hunt and farm and THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY! And the hypocrisy of their lifestyle going mostly unchallenged...

But that's not really what this film is about. It's about dealing with grief in the best way you can, however that may be, other people's beliefs and their customs be damned. You're allowed to feel how you want and deal with it as you please. Viggo is great as usual. Taken on those merits, the film works a little more than it doesn't.… Expand

The idea of raising your children in the nature, free from consumerism and having a healthy life is what every teenager dreams and claims to their friends, that he or she will do it in the future. The thing is that just like those dreams die when the person grows up, the story fades as the film goes by. It never became clear what concept the protagonist was trying to avoid: capitalism, consumerism, occidental culture; just was choosing a healthier life form; all those things or none. The plot was to light for a whole movie, with too many inconsistencies that make difficult its understanding. Beside that, Viggo Mortensen gives a nice performance, even some of the kids did well too; the family issue with the grandparents is interesting and well developed and last but not least, it never turns boring, which surely required a lot of work considering all said.… Expand

The counterculture isn't just over, it almost seems quaint in today's harsher realities when good jobs are outsourced, employers who want to give their employees just enough to keep showing up, petroleum companies who spend their money on expensive print ads rather than actually doing the things they profess to do in the ads, ad nauseum. Sure.. all of the sentiments this family believe in are probably more solid than most of today's families..but so what? Who cares? And certain things about the film are almost laughably contrived...they travel in an old school bus(like the Merry Pranksters c. 1966) ...at a point of giving up his ideals, Mortenson CUTS HIS BEARD OFF, no I'm not kidding. The actually say "stick it to the man"..but who IS the man? We knew that c.1967-1974 but who is the man now? The cops? The politicians? The main reason I saw this was the pretty good reviews and V.

Home-schooled to be anti-business, anti-police, anti-Christian and anti-conservative. (Sounds like Bernie Sanders was the film’s educational adviser.) I think the prop department must have run out of the standard Che Guevara t-shirts because this nut wore a “Jesse Jackson ‘88” shirt instead. The kids seemed well-schooled in the leftist arts: they were very proficient at robbing a grocery store while the father diverted attention by pretending to have a heart attack.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ben Cash and his six children live in a world beyond time, beyond modernity, beyond common American ideals. The questions this film raises are not deep, but they are very much of the moment, post-Bernie Sanders revolution. At a time when many question the capitalistic foundation upon which America is built, it is intriguing to see what plays out in lives where that foundation is seriously questioned, and none of the answers are definitive.

In "Captain Fantastic," a family lives what some may see as an idyllic life and others may see as a dangerous fantasy. Perhaps it is both. When a film gives you food for thought as well as entertainment for an afternoon, it is a most satisfying meal.… Expand
