SEMI-SUCCESSFUL



American indie cinematography often deals with left-wing liberal subjects and so does „Captain Fantastic”, an unusual story about the single father that raise, educate and prepare for life his six children in the wilderness of western USA.

Although the movie revolves around Viggo Mortensen, he fails to deliver some remarkable acting, so the kids step in and steal the show. Script will tend to get more serious in the second part of the movie, trying really hard to raise some important questions about childcare, education and life itself. However, just like Viggo, the script will be only semi-successful in that task, leaving the viewer hanging out to dry at the (hippie-style) ending.

„Captain Fantastic” tries to be a bigger movie than it is, despite not being a bad movie at all.
