"Finely wrought and inventive, Captain Fantastic surely earns the lofty praise of its title."--Guardian.
"'Captain Fantastic' should connect in a major way with those looking to be swept up and moved by such a fundamental human experience."--Variety.
"Gorgeously photographed, and as loosey-goosey as its hero, 'Captain Fantastic' takes some unexpected turns."--New York Daily News.
Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, isolated from society, a devoted father dedicates his life to transforming his six young children into extraordinary adults. But when a tragedy strikes the family, they are forced to leave this self-created paradise and begin a journey into the outside world that challenges his idea of what it means to be a parent and brings into question everything he's taught them.
1080p high-definition widescreen (2.40:1) presentation ; English DTS-HD master audio 5.1.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Un-watchable submitted by HST on June 7, 2017, 8:22am Excessive use of the F*** word. Troubling messaging. It's OK to steal from grocery stores? Don't make fun of anyone except Christians? etc. I fail to see the humor.

Captain Fantastic submitted by leenajong on July 18, 2017, 3:19pm This is not a family movie. It's more like parenting movie.

Great submitted by kelleyc on July 24, 2023, 10:35am I love this movie. His parenting is so weird and stark and absolutely fascinating to watch.

Funny and moving submitted by lizgiessner on July 24, 2023, 2:27pm As a fellow homeschooler, I loved this funny and emotionally moving film.

Captain Fantastic submitted by yufamily on July 27, 2023, 11:32am Captain Fantastic - NOT! It's hard to watch his hypocrisy especially when he fakes a heart attack so his kids can steal food from the grocery story.

Good stuff submitted by brooksza on August 26, 2023, 12:08pm This was one of those heartwarming father-family films like Leave No Trace and Hearts Beat Loud. The music scene at the end especially reminded me of Hearts Beat Loud.

This may have been my favorite Viggo Mortensen performance. I really appreciated seeing the clash of cultures and the determination to live the way his character wanted to. Most of the kid actors were strong too and I thought nature was shot nicely. Very solid movie.
