Superheroes (2007)

saw a rough cut screening in New York last month

[9/10 · 27 December 2006]

Everybody was crying when it was over. It was freaky, the whole theater was silent, instead of everyone applauding. It's that everybody was so moved, stunned. I don't want to give away the ending, but it was very, very sad! The two main actors, Dash Mihok and Spencer Clark, were so great. They worked well together, and I believed their relationship. This is a slow, contemplative film, but very deeply thoughtful, and wonderfully written and acted. I definitely want to see it in a theater when it's completely finished, color corrected and all that. . IT WAS a serious, powerful film. About a serious subject: About one man and the terrible effect war has on him, both mentally, and physically. Dash Mihok is heartbreaking in the role.
