Wristcutters A Love Story
Relegated to a forlorn afterlife of unsmiling lost souls and melancholy drifters as a result of committing suicide in the mortal realm, a heartbroken young man sets out to find the girl who inspired his final act of self-destruction after learning that she too has taken her own life.

The purgatorial premise is pleasingly eccentric but, in the end, Wristcutters falls victim to its washed-out mood, and limps bloodlessly to a close.

Wristcutters is a cut above most low-budget American indies, with something original to say about the human condition and an artful way of saying it.

It's such an original piece of work and I love the deliberately bleak cinematography.

It is a staggeringly awful road movie, not much enlivened by the presence of Tom Waits as a wizened participant.

Wristcutters: A Love Story is like a suicidal Wizard of Oz.

Having some laughs over suicide.

Opportunities to comment on the ethical grey areas of suicide are mostly squandered and, as the pointless digressions begin to pile up, your mind begins to drift from the action on screen.

It's certainly melancholic, occasionally funny, and ultimately life-affirming. But overall, it feels as if writer-director Goran Dukic dropped a rather promising ball.

Wristcutters is a small film of ambitions nicely scaled to the performances and story. Who knew that affectless characters could be so oddly affecting?

All this sounds rather grim, and indeed it is -- but this backward Heaven Can Wait is also, thanks to [director] Dukic's inventive imagination, surprisingly involving and ultimately sweet.

It misses the opportunity to examine why a community of people - each of whom has already given up on life - would band together to form a new society of desperate misfits.

This road movie romcom won’t leave you reaching for the razor blades.
