Captain Fantastic

CriticsCritics: 77
AudienceAudience: 8.0

A father raises his six children in the Pacific Northwest forest, giving them rigorous physical and intellectual training far from conventional society. When circumstances bring the family into the outside world, their journey challenges his beliefs about parenting and prompts them all to face unfamiliar ways of living.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like family stories that balance humor and emotion with questions about parenting, education, and society; Not for you if you prefer fast-paced plots or straightforward answers.
