Excerpt from the review of Culture Bubbles on feature film Captain Fantastic written when it was released in cinemas:
Thanks to the quirky confrontation offered by this extraordinary family, Captain Fantastic brings to the viewer a new perspective that is not lacking in relevance. The film thus highlights our society and its dogmas, usually obscured by the conformity of our daily lives, and invites the viewer to reflect.
(…) A small pearl of American independent cinema, this feature film is a favorite of Bulles de Culture.
