Review of Captain Fantastic (2016) by Jagxjr15 — 02 Aug 2016

This is a tiresome, cliché-ridden, mess of a movie that pretends to be a radical critique of capitalism and modern life in America, but plays instead as a very bad case of political correctness. It just doesn't work, doesn't add up, and reminds me more of The Waltons than the Communist/Green Manifesto it seems to want to be.

If the beginning is sickeningly strange and gory, the worst is yet to come in a happy ending that is treacly, yawn inducing, and just plain dumb. Skip it.
