I wish these kind of features would have more theatrical release in the US, so it could reach wider audiences. I had the pleasure of watching this film as part of the Romanian Film Festival in NYC. I was so surprised that I found myself caring so much about the characters in such little time. I don't think there was a dry eye in the audience when it ended. It was a beautiful film, well casted, directed and written. You could feel the deep bond between the two leads. The kid plays an amazing role as the innocent child who believes everything is possible, and his dad just lets him be. This short movie leaves you with the feeling that you also wish the bag with the secret had the solution to their troubles. One thing I didn't get was the relation between the tittle and the story. Yes, the boy plays and wants to be his favorite superhero but that is it. He tries to save it all but as himself, not under the pretense of an action figure.
