Film review: Captain Fantastic Directed by Matt Ross, 2016

Written and directed by Matt Ross, Captain Fantastic gives us Ben Cash, living off grid in the backwoods with his six intellectually precocious children. Raised to reject religion and the average American and his way of life, but worshiping at the altar of Noam Chomsky, the family might well have been portrayed as romantic lick the earth types, but the story opens with Lord of the Flies savagery as the little Chomskyites hunt, kill and butcher a deer.
