Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
domtaylor 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
Kathleen Kennedy 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.
sjgalaxy This film filled with philosophy. One of the quote from the movie is "Power to the people, stick it to the the man" from my perspective i think the movie wants to told us Creating your life with your own power not overshadowing by the government or the society. Whatever you do , do with your own choice and make the world a better place, no one can't stop you from doing that but always remember respect other's viewpoint.
Everything in this movie plot, acting, editing, cinematography, soundtrack all are very good. Especially cinematography and soundtrack. Some shots in this movie are simple but filled with complexity at the same time and gorgeous to look at.
And when you listen to the soundtrack i'm am sure you will be lost, lost in your own imagination, your own world.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Captain Fantastic (2016)' is a refreshingly honest and heartfelt feature which manages to be surprisingly emotional, almost making me tear up on a couple of occasions, and isn't simply signified by its intrinsic eccentricity (so often used as a marketing trick) but rather infinitely enhanced by it. The narrative never becomes clichéd or rote and the excellent performances always keep the sometimes outlandish happenings both grounded and wonderful. Once it reaches its apparently promised conclusion, however, it slows down and starts to head in a slightly generic, if necessary, direction. Thankfully, though, the emotional core still remains and it isn't long before the film is back to its own off-kilter brand of heart-felt shenanigans as it moves towards an off-base finale which, though it could be somewhat morbid in lesser hands, is here truly touching and a beautiful note on which to end. 8/10
