What I Watched -- Captain Fantastic

E recommended Captain Fantastic to me, because it stars Aragorn (aka Viggo Mortensen, but he will always be Aragorn to me).

Except in this movie.

But I loved it anyway!  It's the very odd story of a father and his six children, struggling with life and lifestyle and relationships with each other and the outside world.  It's clever and charming and sweet, sort of in the vein of Little Miss Sunshine, except without the kind of creepy grandfather figure (although there is a grandfather in this movie, but not a creepy one).  Royal Tenenbaums is another similarly strange family story.

Bottom line: if you're into quirky tales of family and people's wacky but wonderful lifestyle choices, you'll love it.
