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)
A Little Slow a First but stick with it and You FInd a Rare Gem of Movies
I watched this while I was ill and still found it interesting enough to give a good rating. Quirky love story set in the after-life (for suicides). Pretty decent acting and rather funny in an understated kind of way.
I really loved it. Seemed very original. I liked the basic idea of it, and it put me in a good mood.
Really cool, off the wall idea based on Etgar Keret's short story "Kneller's Happy Campers".
Wristcutters was a dark,bleak movie of death and afterlife. Got this movie recommendation from a very dear friend, and it fell flat...( read more)
Odd story that reminds me, in some ways, of Lost In Translation. Lost souls, forced together by circumstance, each trying to find their way through the afterlife. Unfortunately, the movie is a bit too unconventional for its own good. Slow moving, rather dull at times and has a ra...( read more)
"It only happens if it doesn't matter"
One of the best films I've watched recently. Very clever and lovely, this dark comedy is one of the most original films I've ever watched.
Some indie movies try so hard to be indie without any of the real charm or intersesting characters or even plot for that matter. Here is one of those situations in case, and I was it's victim for almost two hours. Terrible.
Well done take on where you go if you commit suicide. Funny and unique! A good summer flick.
I need to see this again. It is not one of my absolute favorites, but I certainly appreciated how quirky and off the map it was.
Not a bad little film, kinda predictable, but harmless. I'd say see it if you get a chance.
critics and reviews were nice but this film bores me. I was convincing myself to like it but i failed
Pleasant enough, but I cannot get into these depressed-dude-falls-in-love stories (e.g., Garden State). 90% of the screen time feels wallowing and sedated, even apathetic, which is such a turn-off even for a 90-minute plotline pointing toward romance.
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)
What and incredible movie!
I'd recommend it everyone who is even slightly interested!
This is a great dark comedy. If you have the right sense of humor you will find it really enjoyable and funny.
I loved this film! Don't shy away due to its questionable title! This is a true hidden gem and something every indie fan should check out. I loved the original plot and great characters in this! The cameos were well done..especially Will Arnett's role in this! The only thing I di...( read more)
An original dark romantic comedy. Everything from the writing to the cinematography to the direction to the acting was amazing. It was nice to find something different that wasn't so rediculous that you couldn't understand it. Recommended.
A unique story, presenting the most conventional love story in a completely unconventional situation.
This was a fun and quirky little film about an afterlife populated with suicides, who are basically forced to live in a world that's just slightly worse than the one that they left.
The lead meets and slowly falls for a character played by Shannyn Sossamon (who can blame him?), ...( read more)
A little predictable but it was funny. Although considering how dark it is, it's really not for everyone.
The movie it's about there three people meet and become friends and start a journey where each one of them have something they wanna look for and they learn more that they could ever imagine. It would be a very comun story if they weren't suicidals in a place only for people who ...( read more)
Loved this film. One of the most original stories I've seen in a while. The acting isn't so great but it doesn't take away from how good the story is.
A love story without all the cheese. Clever and somehow more real than reality itself, it just works. Catchy soundtrack, too. A reminder to appreciate the small things in life.
It's not bad, but I think that it needed to be less of a comedy and more of a character study because there wasn't enough substance to it all.
Strange but wonderful 'emo' film about a boy that goes to purgatory for suicides. It is dark but comical and imaginative. It's a drama/comedy/romance. <3
Kooky, dark and bizzare story. I liked it a lot. Tom Waits is a legend. With music from Gogol Bordello (and Tom)
cool sound track. tom waits was awesome, of course. liked the main idea of the movie (no spoilers) the ending was nice. i felt good after watching this movie.
This offbeat love story was quirky and enjoyable albeit a touch morbid. Also, the Gogol Bordello soundtrack was way rad!
