Captain Fantastic review- Viggo goes wild

A family raised in the wild has to return to civilisation.

Viggo Mortensen heads the bill in this family drama which sees the actor continuing to choose roles that are far removed from conventional cinema.

His Ben is the father of a brood of six children, some approaching adulthood, who he has been raising in the wilderness for a number of years. The early scenes set the stage with a wild life that’s part idyll and part dictatorship with a side serving of ruthlessness.
