Sorry for how vague this is but I figured it was worth a shot.
I'm thinking of a film which could be made up haha. It's about a family and I am sure they end up travelling or something and the dad teaches the children how to grow up but in a non child friendly way.. Like teaches sex ed but very honestly rather than child friendly terms. And basically doesn't sugar coat everything in their childhood. Sorry it's vague but if anyone has any ideas! Thanks

'Surfwise' maybe? It was the first film I thought of from your description

Is it the one based on River Phoenix’s family? I can’t remember the name of it.

Thanks, some work colleagues were talking about it a while ago (probably like a year ago) and that's why it's vague and could be made up cos I'm describing what they said!! I was hoping hearing some titles might ring some bells. I'm not in touch with said colleagues anymore but this film sounded interesting. They said it's one of those everyone has seen films!
Captain fantastic definitely sounds the closest from the trailer! But I just thought it was an older film.
Will be giving it a watch either way!
Thanks all for searching :D
