Review of Captain Fantastic

And it should get the Oscar for best screenplay, too, Matt Ross for best director and Viggo Mortensen for best actor, playing a devoted father with the best of intentions that sometimes might not be the right thing for everyone. And every one of those fantastic kid actors deserves one too. While treating serious and difficult issues, the movie is extraordinarily honest and funny. There is no false move or tone throughout it, it never keels over to the weepy side or gives out blows below the belt. Add to that the Northern Pacific landscape to gorge on… A smart movie that will set you thinking about your own upbringing and how you raise or raised your kids, about education and values and hopefully it will trigger many discussions like it did among the crowd that walked out of the theater here in Buenos Aires.
