The world might have many people unhappy enough to commit suicide. But the quirky and imaginative Wristcutters: A Love Story suggests there’s a special place beyond this one for those who take their own lives, and it isn’t very pretty. Not that anything particularly bad takes place; it’s just that not very much happens at all. Director Goran Dukic, adapting a short story by Etgar Keret, presents an afterlife for those who kill themselves that looks pretty dreary, full of broken-down cars rotting on roadsides, roommates obsessed with cottage cheese, cops who don’t inspire a lot of confidence, and messianic losers promising paradise if only the dead, well, commit suicide all over again. Into the mucky mediocrity comes Zia (Patrick Fugit), a nice young man who opens his veins and ends up in this limbo for losers. There, he takes a menial job, finds an unlikely friend in Eugene (Shea Whigham), a laconic Russian rocker, and meets apathetic girls in a lousy bar. The monotony of it all is broken up, finally, when Zia gets word that his girlfriend back on the mortal plane also killed herself, prompting him to take Eugene on the road in search of her. Naturally, the trip becomes a journey in unexpected new directions and new hope (particularly when a comely hitchhiker, played by Shannyn Sossamon, jumps aboard), though a diversion at a camp for miracles run by an eccentric (Tom Waits) adds a lot of color. Full of low-key wit and intentionally low-rent surprises, Wristcutters is a vision of the persistence of the human heart even in the most somber circumstances. --Tom Keogh

Not convinced? Fine, be that way. "Wristcutters: A Love Story" is a typical offbeat indie flick with all of the positives and negatives that come with that particular label. Hip self-awareness, black comedy, a tomboyishly sexy waif as the female lead, a meandering plot (if you can call it that), and quirky characters all figure heavily into the indie vibe here. If this turns you off, move along. But if the premise appeals to you and you're willing to wait for a payoff, then sit back and enjoy. ... Read More

Love the movie... The Russian rocks...
Not the typical love story. Good buy.

This was a really fun, odd, charming, and bizarre indie movie. Right up my alley! Loved the story premise, and the odd cast of characters. An uplifting movie about suicide and purgatory...who would have figured? Being a Tom Waits fan, it was also great to see him and hear his music in the movie. I loved it, I'll probably buy this on DVD. Very similar feel to the movies of Jim Jarmusch or Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki...a couple of my favorites. Highly recommended for fans of those writers/directors.

While the production standards for this indie film where not very high, it is remarkably original, witty and endearing. I also loved the cast and the original soundtrack to this film. The film offers us hope, even after we have given up on hope.

I loved this movie.
Whenever I mention the title to anyone, they kind of make a face. And I follow it up with, "No no, it's a really good film. It's a love story. With a lot of dark humor." No body really gets it until they watch it though.
I'm not going to spoil it for anyone but it's a very touching story. I haven't read the story it was based on, but I'll have to now.
