Page One: “Captain Fantastic” (2016)

Written by Matt Ross

A trailer for the movie:

I was on a transatlantic flight to London. Set myself up to watch four movies. This was one of them. I watched it on a small screen while tracking the screenplay on my laptop. Even with those cinematic limitations, I loved the story. Highly recommend this movie.
