“Captain Fantastic” is a mesmerizing wash of thematic melody, an angelic voice, tender piano, soothing strings and ethereal spirituality flowing through a score that handles its wellspring of emotion with the most delicate of touches. It’s the definition of heavenly grace whose religion is human nature, creating a captivating dreaminess that fans of Sigur Ros, and Jónsi and Alex will find to be an unbroken line from their work outside of the movie frame. – Daniel Schweiger, Film Music Magazine
