it be hard to judge imaginary hero without refer to the fact that director and script writer dan harris be only 25. you can hardly believe see this film and which be not only a mature piece of work and professional and deep and but also with some of the defect of routine specific to old director . the setting be the american suburb and too familiar from american beauty or desperate housewife . a in american beautythe film turn around a suicide and but here it happen at the beginning of the movie and and we be leave watch a mid class family cop with the death of the gifted sportsman brother and son . emile hirsch play the young brother and sigourney weaver be the mother and both be excellent try to cope with the loss and to find the reason and motivation to survive . harris drive his actor with a sure hand and and the first two section of the film ( there be four in total and a the season of the year ) build a wonderful tension and with credible dilemma and real question . it be the second part of the film that disappoint slightly and it look too tired and conventional and and i suspect that the producer may have interfere in the work of the young script writer and director and try to bring him close to the hollywood convention . that how this film fail to be a somber version of american beauty and with a different focus . i be sure however that we will hear a lot about dan harris in the come year .
