The young actors are supporting convincingly but at the heart of it lies a genuinely moving performance carried off by Viggo Mortensen as a single parent trying to befriend and teach his kids. Matt Ross's work is plausible as a director but its writing skills overpowers it and feels a bit unsatisfactory as it itself fails to justify it whilst projecting the anticipated vision on screen. Captain Fantastic Despite of having a potential head start on its brilliant concept the feature relies upon the usual issues and properties of its genre and still surprisingly reaches to the place where the viewers may have been before but never experienced it like this before. … Expandĭespite of having a potential head start on its brilliant concept the feature relies upon the usual issues and properties of its genre and still surprisingly reaches to the place where the viewers may have been before but never experienced it like this and in his place.

But it is a movie that deserves to be watched and admired. 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. 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. 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. 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.
