Rod Machen Austin Chronicle The special thing about We Can Be Heroes, from directors Carina Mia Wong and Alex Simmons, is that it centers on kids, specifically the kind of kids who would attend a LARP camp in upstate New York, the documentary’s setting. Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter We Can Be Heroes is a documentary that makes your heart swell and makes you instantly protective of its young subjects, except that for over 86 minutes you watch those subjects slay demons and reshape a dying universe. Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Samantha Bergeson IndieWire No matter what medieval garments this feature throws on, its lofty heroic mission falls flat. Rated: C+ Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Film Factual Live action role play (LARPing) is a particular way in which some people choose to spend their time, and the documentary We Can Be Heroes shows how rewarding it can be, especially for those who don’t feel like they fit in anywhere else. Rated: B+ Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Sam Machkovich The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The film sadly leaves some kids' stories undercooked, but there's still plenty of euphoric, teenaged self-discovery to enjoy. May 11, 2024 Full Review Brian Farvour The Playlist “We Can Be Heroes” lives up to its name in more ways than one by showing campers how each exists as their own hero, providing a place where dreams briefly become reality, and helping all who set foot within find their way.
