| DoddleKimberly Gadette"A synchronous coming-of-age/coming-of-death story, the teen's complex mindset comes at us by way of an inventive live-action/graphics mix. Like the boy, the film steadfastly steers clear of the mawkish." |
| Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaA generally affecting and occasionally insightful drama about the ways people handle an awareness of mortality. |
| Movies.comPerri NemiroffPairing of drawings and live-action material help us get into Donald's head, but in a tamer manner, something that highlights the hope and makes it an enjoyable watch. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghMuch of this film quickly vanishes from memory, but there's some gold here. That's pretty much the message about life itself in "Death of a Superhero." |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely Swanson... a thoughtful, insightful, even philosophical portrait of lives worth living, regardless of timeframe. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottStill, as Death of a Superhero plays out, it's hard not to shake the feeling that this is ground we've trodden before. |
| User ReviewPatrick GThe only stuff I hated at this film was the title, spoileralert at the maximum level. |
| User ReviewMayank AWhat a Heartache. This Coming of Age/Coming of Dead Movie is Brilliant. What really stands out is the perfect balance in the melodrama, it never goes overboard making it feel real. Yes there are enough emotions to get you teary eye but it all seem realistic. The performance by the cast are great, the background scores and the CG works blends perfectly with the theme. |
| User ReviewShelby SAbsolutely loved it! It was so beautiful and inspiring, recommend it to everyone! |
| User ReviewTroy KEveryone should watch this incredibly and endlessly powerful film that delivers a wise message about life itself. Amazing on all ends, if you give in. |
