Critic Reviews of "Special"
At the MoviesNovember 24, 2008The premise is intriguing, and the film is occasionally amusing, but it feels stuck between a completely satirical farce and an aching drama.
New York PostNovember 21, 2008Rappaport does a yeoman's job in this tonally confused oddity.
New York Daily NewsNovember 21, 2008It may not be perfect, but this under-the-radar indie from Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore is smart enough to leave you glad you found it.
New York TimesNovember 21, 2008Ultimately it adds little to our understanding of the curious return of the superhero as our paradigmatic pop archetype.
I.E. WeeklyNovember 21, 2008Shot for pennies -- a cash limitation that benefits the production's creativity and credibility -- this haunting film keeps shifting the ground under our feet
What Would Toto Watch?March 31, 2009Special offers a unique spin on the superhero template but rarely soars beyond its sly premise.
Film School RejectsFebruary 11, 2009The quiet-yet-hip tone of the film reminded me a lot of Roger Dodger, another indie film that let's its script and acting do the talking.
Common Sense MediaJanuary 27, 2009Eccentric, depressing thriller won't grab teens' attention.
IGN MoviesNovember 26, 2008Special works as an honest portrait of little people with big dreams even if it remains itself a little movie without a big impact.
Film Journal InternationalNovember 21, 2008The sight of him, bloodied but eternally unbowed, in his ridiculous, homemade superhero costume may indeed be totally iconic for true pulp believers.
House Next DoorNovember 21, 2008Take[s] a page from the cartoonist Bill Watterson, who noted of the tiger protagonist in his great Calvin & Hobbes, 'The nature of [the character's] reality doesn't interest me, and each story goes out of its way to avoid resolving the issue.'
