Imaginary Heroes (2004)
Director: Dan Harris
Movie review
From Time Out New York
The upper-middle-class Travis family is devastated when eldest son Matt (Kip Pardue), a golden-boy competitive swimmer, kills himself. But they're too uptight, guilty and image conscious to talk through their pain. Instead, desperate housewife Sandy (Weaver) boozes and smokes up a storm, while her husband (Daniels) has a quiet emotional meltdown. Meanwhile, the kids are not alright. Harris's clichéd trip to suburban hell feels like a Cliffs Notes version of The Ice Storm, with a tone that vacillates unpredictably from wrenching to smart-alecky.Author: MM
