Highly Overrated But Still Good

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The story of a hippy couple who bring up their kids to be questioning, self reliant, and independant. On a road trip across America, their values are explored in contrast to the normal Americans they meet and interact with. The views are shown as being honest, even though the exchanges are idealised somewhat, and slightly unrealistic. However, its a fun and engaging ride and makes you think

Captain Fantastic' is an emotionally charged family drama with excellent characters and performances that truly elevate the picture. The film feels very naturalistic, thanks to the handheld camera and realistic nature of the screenplay and acting. The film is heavily politically charged, however writer/director Matt Ross does a good job at allowing the audience to make up their own political viewpoints. While the film is told from the 'Cash' family's perspective, the character of 'Jack', who would traditionally be seen as the film's antagonist, isn't portrayed as evil but simply another man with different attitudes to life. This is where the film really excels. It opens a window to the lives of a wide variety of characters and never tells us how to feel, instead simply showing us what they think and feel and allowing us to decide how we react to that. At times, the film is genuinely funny too and that is another aspect of this film that I love. It has the perfect blend of drama and comedy and, as such, feels very much like a slice-of-life. It can be dead serious and genuinely emotionally affecting one minute, and then funny and feel-good the next. Viggo Mortensen delivers an outstanding performance as a father who just wants the best for his children, and this is another great aspect of the film. It is about the importance of family, and explores what 'family' means to different people and social groups. The contrasts between how different groups perceive Ben's parenthood sets the film apart and allows audiences to choose how they personally feel. In conclusion 'Captain Fantastic' is not only one of the most genuinely emotional and heartwarming films of recent years, but also one of the best. 9/10

It is crap. Crapola. Get this: it is not a sequel, it is not a prequel, it is not a remake, it is not a reboot and it is not even part of a universe. I hated it. No one will watch this. Vomit.

9/10Finally a film that is original, fun to watch, makes fun of the mainstream and you know what? Does not have Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer or one of those useless shoehorned 'actresses.'I go to the movies to1- be entertained or2- see hot chicks or3- be surprised at the audacity of the movie.What is the point with all these films that have none of these (and yet they expect me to pay for them??)??
