    Wristcutters is a cute, unconventional exploration of suicide and ennui. The notion that things are actually MORE boring after killing yourself than they are before is a fantastic conceit, and one that would dissuade me from ever wanting to take my own life. It's slight, and not ...( read more)terribly funny for a movie that bills itself as a comedy, but it's sweet and the ending leaves you feeling oddly uplifted. Which is strange, you know, for a movie about suicide.

    Not revelatory or anything, but won't leave you feeling insulted or patronized, which seems to be getting harder to find in a movie these days...

    In a starless and smileless afterlife reserved for suicides, three dead souls embark on a road trip: Zia searches for his earthly lover, while Mikal looks for the People in Charge, and crusty Russian Eugene comes along for the ride. An entertainingly offbeat romantic comedy disg...( read more)uised as a black comedy.

    Wristcutters is a dark and unusual tale of love. The way the film was shot, was kind of drab and there were a few slow parts, but for the most part I enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of What Dreams May Come, or something of that nature.
    I like Patrick Fugit. Ever since he was Wi...( read more)lliam Miller in Almost Famous, he can do no wrong in my book. I also like Shannyn Sossmon. She is a good actress and very beautiful. I think she fits rolls like this well. She played Mikal perfectly. It kind of reminded me of her role of Lauren in The Rules Of Attraction, a little bit. I think that she should get more leads.
    Wristcutters is definitely not your epic, happily ever after love story, but it will keep you entertained.

    Cute? That's what they say about the puppy. The only thing worse is good friend, or nice person. In plain English it means I'll leech off you as long as I can, but don't even think about getting into my pants.

    Wristcutters is about what happens to people after they "off" ...( read more)themselves. This movie is so unique in itself it's unbelievable.
    The fact that this movie was so different than anything else you've never seen before is just the best part.

    They kinda turn a bad thing into a good thing with this movie....sorta.

    It's so hard to explain how I feel about this movie because it is so different. It needed something more I must say. I don't know what it is, but it needed something.

    You really need to see this just for the experience of this movie. It is a book though, and I'm going to be reading that as soon as I can. Maybe then I will feel the satisfaction I'm wanting.

    A unique and quirky film which captivates the attention from the start. The score and cinematography are nothing less than brilliant. The writing, direction and acting are top notch. The bizarre plot threw me off, but the film is mellow, has humor and absolutely fascinates the...( read more) mind. A must see ...

    It seems as if everything tagged ?black comedy? I like. Does that mark me as an intrinsically ?dark? person? I can?t help that I relate with satire. That I think po-mo. It?s not my fault I?m so introspective.

    dark comedy starring Patrick Fugit, Shannyn Sossamon and Shea Whigham. based on the short story Kneller's Happy Campers by Etgar Keret. directed by Goran Dukic.

    after committing suicide and finding himself in an afterlife set aside just for those who have committed suicid...( read more)e, a young man (Fugit) learns that the girl he loved also killed herself. he then sets out to try and find her.

    boy kills himself. boy finds himself in strange afterlife where no one smiles and the scenery looks much like where I come from. boy searches for love. boy finds love. boy loses love. boy finds love again. the end.

    interesting idea with decent writing and an okay cast.

    A very strange comic fantasy. Brilliant story telling, filled with more allusions and inside jokes than you can possibly grasp in a single viewing. I am not familiar with the star, Patrick Fugit, but he is very talented. I'll be looking for more of his work. The performances by S...( read more)hannon Sossamon, Shea Whigham and Tom Waits are also brilliant.
