CAPTAIN FANTASTIC

Surprisingly good. Viggo is superb. The movie is reminiscent of THE MOSQUITO COAST, where Harrison Ford had Viggo's role, and THE DESCENDANTS, the set-in-Hawaii family drama with similar plot points and George Clooney in Viggo's role. But in many ways this is a better film than the still quite worthy MOSQUITO. Some really great points, great scenes, lots of wit and humor, lots of drama. Members of the audience I saw it with were in tears during some scenes. This is one of the best films of the summer.

SCORE: 85.
