Review of Captain Fantastic (2016) by Compi24 — 31 Jul 2016

Writer/director Matt Ross's Sundance darling is more than just your typical indie flick. Yes, it has the quirky characters, the offbeat humor, and the humble visuals littered throughout, but what separates "Captain Fantastic" from indie mediocrity is its thought-provoking thematics and inarguably breathtaking performances.

Viggo Mortensen may carry the heart and soul of the film on his protagonistic shoulders, but make no mistake, this film is rounded out effortlessly by the six truly incredible performances surrounding him - the kids, of course.

The film might be a little too oddball for some and definitely a bit too highfalutin for others, but I most certainly didn't mind. Here's hoping we get more from Matt Ross soon enough.
