Movie title?

Question

I saw this movie ages ago on TV, but don't know what it was called.

It's about a family where the oldest son commits suicide in the beginning of the movie, and you then follow the family trying to understand, comprehend and overcome the loss of him. You never find out why he did it, either.

I know it's not much, but I'd appreciate it of someone could help me out. I'd really like to see it again.

Answer 1

It might be Imaginary Heroes.

Plot
A shocking and tragic event causes the members of a quietly dysfunctional family to reexamine themselves and their lives in this drama. Ben and Sandy Travis (Jeff Daniels and Sigourney Weaver) are a couple whose troubled family begins to crumble when their eldest son, star college athlete Matt (Kip Pardue) commits suicide. Sandy's naturally cynical nature becomes all the more prickly, and while she tries to bond with her surviving teenaged son, Tim (Emile Hirsch), they seem closest when they discover a shared fondness for marijuana. Ben also tries to reach out to Tim, but the young man is never able to shake the feeling that he's never quite been the son his father wanted. Tim has a girlfriend, Steph (Suzanne Santo), but their relationship has been going through a rocky patch, and Tim finds himself questioning his feelings about women and men when his friendship with next-door neighbor Kyle (Ryan Donowho) evolves into something more intimate. Imaginary Heroes was written and directed by Dan Harris, best known for his work as a screenwriter on the blockbuster comic-book adaptation X-Men and projected remakes of Superman and Logan's Run. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Answer 2

Could it be Imaginary Heroes? It stars Sigorney Weaver and Jeff Daniels.

The movie is introduced by a narration by Tim Travis, the main character. His brother Matt, he tells the audience, is the most talented swimmer anyone has ever seen, the best. But Tim knew what no one else knew: Matt hated swimming. He hated it more than anyone he knew had hated anything. And a minute or two into the film, Matt shoots himself in the head. The rest of the movie shows the family trying to recover. At the center of the story is the relationship between Tim and his mother (Sigorney Weaver).
