In Hollywood, accommodating expectations%u2014looking the part%u2014is a first step. Toward what? That's a question the provocative, respectful, and enthralling Confessions leaves open.

A mesmerizing, revealing look at Hollywood's bottom layer, as well as an assertive snapshot of desperation...one of the best documentaries I've seen this year.

A detailed portrait of these societal eccentrics, which, while not neglecting their obvious personal problems, is clearly sympathetic.

Both touching and amusing, these four embody the spirit of Hollywood, “a place where dreams are made and dreams are broken.”

Fun to watch primarily because, when not waiting tables, auditioning or appearing in a movie's mob scene, these actors actually spend most of their time in superhero costumes, not on stage, but on the street.

The empathetic tone draws you in and some of the details are devastating.

In its own inimitably strange way, Confessions of a Superhero is an inspirational tale.

Confessions doesn’t condescend or mock its subjects because they’re such natural entertainers that no audience pandering is necessary.

...what could have been a condescending descent into bottom-feeding turns into a loving, often heartbreaking portrait of decent people trying to scrape by.
