this is what i imagine joaquin phoenix's life was like when his name was Leaf Bottom and he became a vegan at the age of 3 because he saw some fish that his siblings caught writhing around

me: sees one tree and hears a bird chirp
me: this is just like in captain fantastic...

me watching this: i could totally live like that
me in reality: never been camping, hates bugs and is a bitch for technology 

really enjoyed it, i'm gonna use the forbidden word and say it was INTERESTING the cast was superb and brilliant! a wonderfull unique film!

could never be a part of this family.......i like going to target too much

Kielyr: We're defined by our actions, not our words

I love the honesty that Ben has with his kids. I grew up around amigos and family that it's just better to talk about things, instead of ignoring it. There was a guy that we had problems with each other, but one night we sat down a just talk for hours about the problems we have with each other, and by the end of the night we became amigos. Now we both are always honest with each other and we have a great friendship. La honestidad es algo muy importante.

please explain this to me... i am CONFUSION

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

this was bigger and sadder than I expected but VIGGO MORTENSEN CALMLY SAYING "LET'S HAVE A DISCOURSE" WAS THE FUNNIEST WRITING IN ALL OF 2016 CÍNÉMÁ

"She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain."

Such warmth. Such affection. And such splendid uniqueness. It's as if our eternal sun has engulfed the artificiality of society and all that remains is bright light of healing. It's as if we have reshaped our language back to its primal senses, shunning away the euphemisms so that our feelings are no longer merely camouflaged masks.

Captain Fantastic is sweetly hilarious and heartbreakingly moving. Immensely gorgeous to look at and infinitely enthralling in its scope, it is the living embodiment of free spirit and making peace with ourselves.

Cherry on the pie? Viggo Mortensen humming Sweet Child of Mine, enough said.

I wasn't expecting this to be so brilliant, maybe that's because I hadn't heard much about it, but I can say I’m in awe. the shots throughout were stunning and imo the entire movie was flawlessly done from start to finish. since starting my film course, I’ve begun to notice more about films and the contrast in lighting was perfect. 

I haven't seen many movies with Viggo Mortensen, but he was excellent in this so it really was a great first impression.

i put off watching this for quite a while because i knew it would make me very emotional and i was right! the costumes were incredible as was the acting and cinematography. well worth the watch.

Lovely to see a family that could easily pass for an Of Monsters & Men cover band

How i wish shirtless Viggo on a repurposed school bus had me analyze Lolita instead of (bless his heart) Barry Marshall

I wanna live in the forest like that but without any of the work and with wifi. And especially without any kids.

Pacing is kind of wonky.
Frank Langella is always a welcome surprise.
Does this need to be over 2 hours long?
The ending feels kind of weird. It's not bad. But just weird and feels kind of off from the rest of the movie.

i love this movie so fucking much

Captain Fantastic is a brightly coloured film juxtaposed against some pretty somber performances. Sure there are a few funny moments scattered throughout, but the film is predominately depressing for the majority of its runtime. That said, its thematic exploration of balance in life, between self-sufficiency, wealth, knowledge, and acceptance is well-handled. Terrific performances all round, even if the characters are frustrating at time. Also, on parenting, no matter what you do, you're wrong.

a dad doing the right thing by his children??? can’t compute. this was really emotional and sincere and i loved it!! viggo, my man ✊🏻 also george mackay’s eyes yes.

My hands are mine. My mouth is mine. But I am not. I am yours.

curou minha depressão

amei, chorei e sofri o filme inteiro

thirst watched for george mackay but now i have a crush on annalise basso. i really almost thought i would make it to the end without crying but no... the father and son advice ... Really unique story and refreshingly good script but the visuals hit different at the end. we love supportive family bonds and dads who know when they're wrong
