Death of a Superhero
2011 · Movie · 97 min. · Ireland
After several cycles of chemotherapy, fourteen-year-old Donald (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) feels he has little left to hope for. Director Ian FitzGibbon’s adaptation of Anthony McCarten’s novel of the same name is a poignant coming-of-age story with a dark undertone, addressing the most painful of circumstances alongside a rich and often humorous treatment of classic teen preoccupations.
