There's something reminiscent of a Hubert Selby, Jr. novel about Matt Ogens' "Confessions of a Superhero." The four characters chronicled by the film all dream big, but the gap between their dreams and the reality of their lives is unbridgeable. At times, when they pause to look at their cluttered studio apartments or their broken relationships or their bizarre lifestyles, they seem to grasp this. But they quickly retreat from their encounters with reality to go on chasing the Great American Dream ... Read More

It begins with an introduction by Morgan Spurlock who brilliantly sums up the point of the film. Remember when we were kids and wanted to be super heroes? What happens when, as a grown up, you wear a super hero costume to earn a living? Do you feel more powerful? Or does it highlight your failures? The film maker does an amazing job of documenting the lives of people who choose to dress up like superheroes. We meet Superman, Batman, The Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman. They tend to see it as acting ... Read More

The film explores what it's like being superheroes on the street, as they take tips for ... Read More

Here's a fact any sane person would recognize: pulling on a pair of tights and prancing around Hollywood Boulevard for tip money doesn't make you a superhero. What the subjects of this documentary don't quite get, though, is that it doesn't really make you an actor, either. But then, nobody is ever going to accuse this film's Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman or Incredible Hulk of having a stranglehold on reality.
Which brings us to the subject of delusion - a central theme of "Confessions of a Superhero." ... Read More

Confessions of a Superhero is, for the most part, everything that a feature-length documentary should be: Interesting, original, well-executed, and entertaining. Its subject matter- the lives an passions of struggling actors who make their livings by dressing up as superheroes and taking pictures with Hollywood tourists for "tips"- is jarringly unique, because it directs our attention to something that most of have never even given a second though to. Indeed, the movie's greatest strength is the warmth and humanity with ... Read More
