Death of a Superhero Reviews
AV Club
Noel Murray
Fitzgibbon's cast is excellent, and the movie's animated interludes liven up what could've been thoroughly pat.
Doddle
Kimberly Gadette
"A synchronous coming-of-age/coming-of-death story, the teen's complex mindset comes at us by way of an inventive live-action/graphics mix. Like the boy, the film steadfastly steers clear of the mawkish."
Movies.com
Perri Nemiroff
Pairing of drawings and live-action material help us get into Donald's head, but in a tamer manner, something that highlights the hope and makes it an enjoyable watch.
Times-Picayune
Mike Scott
This sick-kid drama is well-made enough, but ultimately too familiar to resonate.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Much of this film quickly vanishes from memory, but there's some gold here. That's pretty much the message about life itself in "Death of a Superhero."
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
A generally affecting and occasionally insightful drama about the ways people handle an awareness of mortality.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
Charming, raunchy and improbably uplifting.
Variety
John Anderson
Pic sidesteps cloying sentimentality and heavy-handedness with the help of a solid cast.
Three Imaginary Girls
Amie Simon
The combo of the amazing casting, animated fantasies, and gorgeous scenery all made this film seem REALLY real.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
... a thoughtful, insightful, even philosophical portrait of lives worth living, regardless of timeframe.
