Abstract
The recent US film release Captain Fantastic is an ‘off-grid family drama’ set in a remote Pacific Northwest forest. In a heated discussion of tropes around diversity, disability and the family, Deborah Williams and Alison Wilde go head to head in a conversation that points to the poignancy as well as the flaws within Matt Ross’s film – prompted by an initial discussion between the two writers about the exclusion of black people, voices, opinions and aesthetics from mainstream arts culture.
