The whole film is cracked, but in a stylish, downtown way.
Read the full reviewFor a film about suicide, Wristcutters is agreeably loopy and game. Dukic is bitterly funny rather than maudlin, and his carefully plotted grunge chic, in addition to being cheap, lends the film a great deal of Jim Jarmusch grime to go with its unmistakable Jim Jarmusch quirk.
Read the full reviewHas an offbeat, absurdist charm that turns a potentially creepy conceit into an odd, touching adventure.
Read the full reviewA quirky but surprisingly lighthearted dark comedy.
Read the full reviewTurns out to be a sweetly grim lark: a road film through Limbo. It takes the self-pity associated with ending one's life and uses it for the purposes of mordantly aware comic fantasy.
Read the full reviewIt is neither as clever nor as funny nor as inventive as the daring title might lead one to expect.
Read the full reviewThe movie isn't laugh out loud funny, under the circumstances, but it is bittersweet and wistfully amusing; the actors enjoy lachrymosity. We witness the birth of a new genre, the Post-Slasher Movie.
Read the full reviewIt's borderline parody of a kind of fey filmmaking popular at crunchy-granola festivals, but the counterfeit aesthetic is ultimately outshone by the life-affirming message.
Read the full reviewThough its absurdist inventions occasionally border on twee, this affectionate slow-blooming romance mines an understated vein of comic melancholy that the actors' wistful performances perfectly capture.
Read the full reviewSomewhat original and amusing. But only somewhat.
Read the full reviewSeems to me, teenage suicide isn't that funny, and nothing in this movie changed my mind.

"I hated this movie. The "black hole" in the floor of the trashy car as the "portal" back was evident about 60 seconds into the car scene. I didn't laugh one time during the entire film - except once when I was struck by how horribly awfully bad it was."
Great
"Best album to come out in a long time. There is not one song I did not love. A gem!"
