Captain Fantastic
Viggo Mortensen plays a mountain man raising six children off the grid in the woods somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Their mother is away in the hospital for vague mental health reasons, tragedy strikes, and Viggo is forced to take his kids out into civilization for the first time. I liked it for the most part, not many complaints outside of the expected pitfalls of a movie dependent on half a dozen child actors. Plenty of themes and moral dilemmas to chew on, great music, and great scenery.
Lion
Adapted true story about a 5-year old boy that gets lost in India, thousands of miles from his home, and learns to survive on the streets of Calcutta before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. 25 years later the advances of the internet reveal an opportunity to find his way back home. I thought it was pretty amazing, wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, not sure I'll ever watch it again but I can't think of anything to really complain about.
