Imaginary Heroes Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Has a third act that consists almost entirely of skeletons tumbling out of the closet, but Weaver's and Hirsch's flawless performances elevate the film above and beyond the ranks of 'Ordinary People' pastiches, and in the end it stands on its own merits.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
An ambitious, uneven directorial debut.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Conversations, by the way, need to be laconic, cynical and postmodern. Tears take their time, if they come at all.
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
Imaginary Heroes may not show the directorial confidence of Zach Braff's remarkable Garden State or the emotional depth of A Home at the End of the World, but it's a strong character-driven story all the same.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Writer-director Dan Harris piles so many problems on top of a suburban family here that eventually both problems and characters lose impact and believability.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Imaginary Heroes mines the suburban tragedy of Ordinary People, The Ice Storm and American Beauty, but with only a quarter of the insight.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The gift of Imaginary Heroes is getting to know these anything- but-ordinary people.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Enlivened by some good performances, but it's ultimately overfamiliar and slow, and its characters feel like they were dreamed up by a screenwriter -- no one ever seems to breathe real air.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
What saves Imaginary Heroes is its essential truthfulness about families, which it reveals, not only in the broad movements of its story but in the small details.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
A depressing yarn.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Plays like Ordinary People rewritten by someone too young to imitate that film's powerful complications.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What remains when the movie is over is the memory of Sandy and Tim talking, and of a mother who loves her son, understands him, and understands herself in a wry but realistic way.
Dallas Morning News
Mario Tarradell
The ending leaves unanswered questions, but it offers enough substance to justify the nearly two-hour commitment.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Yes, it's time for another visit to the suburb of Angst, located outside the metropolis of Dysfunction and just a freeway exit away from the tri-city area of Despair, Despondency and Depression.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Except for Weaver's surprisingly funny, bitter performance as the film's grieving, wise-cracking, pot-smoking mother, I didn't much like Heroes -- or rather, I admired part of it without getting much engaged or moved.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Harris directs at a funereal pace that snuffs out his script's own wit, and only Weaver keeps the bitter laughs coming.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
These are not ordinary people. Or real ones.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Everybody is so screwed up here that it just becomes relentlessly so.
Observer
Rex Reed
An honorable and superbly articulated film.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
What the movie damagingly lacks is a personality of its own.
