Superbly acted.
Everyone is touched by sadness or hobbled by self-deception, and everyone is interesting, even moving, to watch until the drama slowly suffocates beneath the weight of its revelations.
Good in many ways, full of talent and intelligence, and marks the debut of a promising young American writer-director, Dan Harris.
The stand-up performance is still that of the mom--Sigourney Weaver, making the most of the meatiest part she's had in years
It has strong moments and fine, unsentimental performances, but it doesn't jell as a story.
Despite Weaver's wise instincts for the thoughtful pause, we're stuck with yet another ass-kicking female actor struggling to shade in the contours of a wispy sketch.
Nothing in Imaginary Heroes rings true, least of all a plot that lightly combines domestic abuse, adulterous pregnancy, teen bisexuality, job abandonment, and a possible case of Mysterious Movie Disease. These are not ordinary people. Or real ones.
