This movie has a fascinating topic about comparing what it's like to be living with all the modern luxuries, or living in a minimal fashion within nature. There is a bit of bias evident in this, with some emphasis showing the negatives about modern living, however the movie does go both ways. This comparison is actually the more superficial aspect of the story, because it has a lot more to offer.
The dynamics between the Father; played fantastically by Viggo Mortensen, and the numerous children he has is the main crux of this story. There's a lot of back and forth with philosophical point of views about life and how they should live it. Add in the road trip aspect, and it goes further into the thematic ideas, as well as humorous situations of culture clashes. Going through the movie, you'll want to see how it ends.
It's a simple enough movie with big ideas, and it's worth checking out.
