Captain Fantastic | Ratings & Reviews

"Viggo Mortensen stars as Ben, a back-to-basics dad raising his family way off grid, in a cabin deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. When his wife dies, the kooky family sets off to carry out her wishes and spare her the Christian funeral her parents plan."

Flicks, Adam FrescoFlicks

"Should connect in a major way with those looking to be swept up and moved by such a fundamental human experience."

VarietyVariety

"Captures something brainy and bullheaded about Mortensen that feels true."

Time OutTime Out

"Mr. Mortensen, whose intensity has the sting of possession, has a way of making you believe his characters can do whatever they set their minds to: fly, leap over buildings, save the world."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Finely wrought and inventive, Captain Fantastic surely earns the lofty praise of its title."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"The first time I saw it I walked away feeling quite moved. It was only the second time around – and there's not many films I find the time to see twice – that the flaws and omissions became unbearable."

StuffStuff

"Ben Cash might be a deeply flawed character. But he remains fascinating throughout and Mortensen's portrayal of him is perfect."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"In largely succumbing to the very complacency its characters claim to abhor, it turns out to be - I hate to say it - a far less interesting movie than it appears."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Crowdpleasing for the right kind of crowd, but about as radical as a kale crisp."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A fiercely original, pleasantly unpredictable character piece. This is a gang of outsiders with something valuable to say about the world we live in."
