Better Late Then Never
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The concept of a afterlife or place where people who committed suicide live sounded cool and interesting to me and I hoped for a little gem. Sadly, the story develops really slowly and most of the dialogues are imo boring and also the characters are not not captivating. I always had the feel that everything happening was kinda choreographed to look or sound "cool" but it just didn't work this way to me. Too cool, too pretentious artsy, a shallow in disguise, my opinion. Some praise Wristcutters and I won't condemn it. The movie just didn't ring the "right bell" for me. Okayish. But somehow a good but wasted idea.
I found this movie by sheer luck a couple days ago. I was watching some cheesy chic flick I never heard of. For good reason. But this little jewel popped up in the preview section when that was over. I didn't even watch the preview. I just read the description. From my own crazy experience with suicide I knew I wanted to watch it. So I did. And i'm really happy that I did. The acting is good. The story is even better. I fell in like immediately with the two main characters. It's very interesting and kinda quirky. So the range of emotions are deep but presented in a light hearted way. If that makes sense. It will if you watch it. It's really sad that these days there's a lot of crappy movies that get a lot of publicity because so and so is in it or so and so produced it. This movie is one of the best indie's i've ever seen. I rated this an 8 because it left me feeling good. And it blows any mainstream suicide movie outta the water!! Enjoy!
Although the movie starts off in a slow weird way, once you watched through you'll learn to like the characters and love their friendship. WristCutters is worth watching.Despite it's box office earnings "wrist cutters" is fun and takes the audience on an adventure through the dreary afterlife in search for Zia's love. The acting is good and the story is excellent for a low budget movie. WristCutters is not long and has just the right amount of "funny" leaving you wanting more.If you like dark comedies, romance and friendship you should without a doubt see WristCutters.
Just as I thought I saw all, I met this crazy movie. It's a crazy movie indeed where the focus character killed himself at the very beginning. And after the death, the movie shows the suicide world, which is just plain crazy as an idea. But I kept on watching, curious of what's going to happen, due to the suicide world being depicted not really different from the real world despite the rare crazy and funny differences. All those crazy ideas are presented in a very light manner that they don't frustrate or bore down the viewers. Not to mention the utter crazy stuff people do in the suicide world. They are enjoyably laughable despite the level of the stupidity. Patrick Fugit delivered just an average performance, despite being on a lead role. So did Shannyn Sossamon in bringing out the balancing aspect to the story. But Shea Wigham did a great job in acting out his Russian related character.
