This film had a great message. This film is very inspiring, although, it was extremely entertaining at the same time. I think that this film is very important to see for all teenagers to understand about how bad suicide is. I... Full review

This movie was definitely one of my favorites. It never moved too slow, but didn't overwhelm the senses at the same time. I'm a big fan of the dry humor and look forward to the next harry potter book.... Full review

I really enjoyed this film. A very creative, clever and successfully humorous way to share a very important and simple message..[spoiler]...which was very obvious when the women he killed himself for turned out to be a brainless twit who also did... Full review

This is one of "those" movies. You know the kind - like a catchy tune the vibe of this movie stays in your head... the movie had all the chances in the world to be depressing, but it was far... Full review

It's a strange sort of movie. At first I was so confused because I didn't realize that they jumped straight into the world of the suiciders. It wasn't as gory as you think -only the very beginning scene. But other than... Full review

The film's plot is very original - not many movies today offer such an unconventional viewpoint. It is an interesting story about the sense of life (though the film itself represents life after death). After watching it I was predisposed to... Full review

I loved this movie. The characters were real and the actors did a great job portraying it. It was funny yet it had a serious point to it. Wristcutters gives you a love story that isn't original. It was creative and... Full review

Wristcutters is a refreshing, unique film. The soundtrack helps keep things lively (no pun intended) with some great songs by Gogol Bordello. For a film whose story is based in such dark subject matter, Wristcutters is surprisingly life-affirming. ... Full Review

I have to be honest, I find Wristcutters: A Love Story rather difficult to classify, and that may the thing it has going for it most. Goran Dukic throws his lot in with his actors and keeps everything about the storytelling restrained, as well. ... Full Review

It is possible that there has never been a movie made that is more proud of itself than Wristcutters: A Love Story, which was written and directed by Goran Dukic under the guidance of the Sundance Institute. In fact, Wristcutters, which is based on a short story by Etgar Keret, is so incredibly impressed by how clever its concept is that it decides to quit while it was ahead, and does virtually no work for the rest of its 88 minute run time. ...
