Confessions of a Superhero

This bittersweet documentary looks at four would-be movie stars (including the son of actress Sandy Dennis) who eke out their livings dressing up as superheroes and posing with tourists for tips in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Artistic and affecting, it’s as much about the American mania for celebrity as it is about the people profiled. Monday, April 13, at 9 p.m., Sundance Channel
