Reminds me of Running on Empty
It is easy to compare this film to Captain Fantastic and there are similarities. However, I kept coming back to Running on Empty which starred River Phoenix. A family unit that survives by living outside society, ready to move at a moment's notice. Everything is fine until that unit comes in contact with the rest of society. In this film, the daughter Tom, begins to feel the yearning for stability and social interaction. The scene with rabbit was a key scene as Tom, met other teenagers and she enjoyed playing with the creatures. Will needs isolation from the world, as Tom grows older, she knows that she was to be part of a community. It is painful to watch, but the parent has to let their child find their own way in the world.
