Deep in the Pacific Northwest, Ben (Viggo Mortensen) raises his six bright kids to value self-sufficiency above all. But when tragedy strikes, they are forced to reenter society, where Ben’s parenting style is challenged by his father-in-law (Frank Langella)—not to mention the rest of the real world. “With a role that takes full advantage of Mortensen’s own sensitive, back-to-nature spirit” (Variety), this refreshingly earnest indie celebrates the love of learning and life off the grid. D: Matt Ross, US, 2016, 118m
