Captain Fantastic is about a seemingly well-educated family raised in a life outside the typical civilized life led by their father. However, when they are faced with a tragic incident, they travel back into the city mostly unprepared for life there.

This is another great indie film worth checking out. It definitely shows its dedication to its conflict by showing the reactions of people in the city in response to something that the father does. Furthermore, the movie features great characters and a great story.

Without giving too much away, the ending just didn't work for me and I didn't feel as if it were earned. Also, it doesn't spend as much energy on its conflict as it thinks it is. With that aside, I recommend seeing this film, especially in this rather disappointing blockbuster season, and will grant it a seal of acknowledgement.
