Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Emile Hirsch, Jeff Daniels, Deirdre O'Connell
Director: Daniel Harris
Sigourney Weaver creates a portrait of a taut, frustrated suburban mother of three whose complexity transcends the Mom as Devourer stereotypes who have prowled the movies since Mrs. Robinson stirred her first martini.
Top Critic[Harris] knows how to create complex, believable characters and how to inspire his talented actors.
Top CriticA hard-hitting drama about the sharp edges of grief and the need for families to nurture openness and love in the midst of tragedies that test their mettle.
Emotional impact [is] lost in the mire of multiple motivations, less than fully realized characters, and tangential excursions.
Superbly acted.
unusually bold and affecting
Imaginary Heroes is a queer-eyed valentine to Sigourney Weaver.
Given the humorous antics of the hip mother, many a kid would enjoy living with this dysfunctional family.
A family drama so overwrought that it puts you in a state of profound disbelief.
Just too damn depressing.
Another installment in the ongoing Ice Storm chronicles.
Audiences may feel compelled towards labeling Imaginary Heroes nothing more than a movie-of-the-week. But, most will have to admit, it’s a pretty good one.
A sharply observed tragicomedy that draws laughter as genuinely as it coaxes tears.
Top Critic...a very good movie that falls short of excellence...
