One of my favorite films of 2016 was Matt Ross’ Captain Fantastic, starring Viggo Mortensen. It’s the kind of film I can put on any day and it makes me happy, I adore it, and I was so happy to see Viggo get an Oscar nomination for his performance. Not only is a great film, but it has so much to teach us about raising kids, keeping an open mind, learning more about the way we interact in this world, and fighting against a capitalistic society.
