One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
In the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a father devoted to raising his six kids with a rigorous physical and intellectual education is forced to leave his paradise and enter the world, challenging his idea of what it means to be a parent.
"A provocative movie about a man who wants to raise his children the best way possible - and in doing so, isolates them from the evils of the world. Should we live a ‘perfect’ life, our own way, or should we adjust to society’s conventions? Is it right for others to judge how we live, ‘for our own good’? All this clash of ideas is packaged with great direction from Matt Ross and also features an impeccable performance from Viggo Mortensen, which earned him Oscar and Golden Globe nominations."
