Captain Fantastic

How do you raise your children in a modern age? If you are Ben (Viggo Mortensen) then unconventionally is the answer. He’s an off the grid survivalist whose children read books around a campfire and all are proficient in hunting.

A tragic event forces them on a road trip to confront some of the traditions of society but also question some of the choices their dad has made. One of the most refreshing films of recent times Captain Fantastic is both funny and moving and a grand salute to being anti-corporate.
