The Film Stage -
The cancer-diagnosis plot device is certainly well-worn and can often be viciously maudlin, but Haley does well in utilizing it as a means to work on something a bit more nuanced.

The Playlist -
The Hero feels looser, more abstract, and more symbolically ambitious than the winsome “I’ll See You In My Dreams,” and at times you wish for a bit more narrative rigor. But it’s nonetheless a resonant depiction of a man fearlessly reckoning with his life, his image and, most importantly, his heart.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Luckily, Elliott succeeds in pulling you into Lee's emotional orbit and holding you there even when the movie falters.

IndieWire -
With Elliott front and center of every scene, The Hero pulls off the kind of acting showcase that its fictional star can never achieve.

Movie Nation -
Brett Haley’s film captures Elliott in all his majesty, his twinkle dimming as he casts his eyes out over the mountains beyond his house or the rocky beach down the hill.
