Synopsis

Zia, distraught over breaking up with his girlfriend, decides to end it all. Unfortunately, he discovers that there is no real ending, only a run-down afterlife that is strikingly similar to his old one, just a bit worse. Discovering that his ex-girlfriend has also "offed" herself, he sets out on a road trip to find her.

Tweetienator 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.
akoaytao1234 This film tells the story of a slacker stuck in a California-like purgatory for people who killed themselves. Kinda started to watch this film because a lot of interesting side characters from different films ended up acting here (Fugit and Sossamon to name a few) but I ended up being very disappointed. Given the premise has some promise, it just never took off into something interesting and worthwhile. Everything about this film is very mediocre and stale.Likewise , the acting minus that Russian guy in the film is very uneven and uninspired and the story is haphazardly paced and lacks tension to make it something more than what the film offers. Overall, the film is just too safe and basic for its own good but tolerable if interested. [2.5/5]
leomilan 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.
Quebec_Dragon I kept seeing this movie pop up on IMB in the "People who watched this also liked..." section of some of my favorite fantastical movies with romantic elements such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (not seeing it anymore), so after many years I decided to rent it. It didn't have much to do with those. It was obviously low-budget and it wasn't as good as I hoped. I loved the concept of suicides going to some kind of limbo, which is actually just like here, but a little worse. I liked the little fantasy touches such as the void in the car, people not being able to smile, matches flying up, etc, that showed some creativity. I liked the little suicide flashbacks that were sometimes darkly humorous. I liked the main actress with the dark hair that reminded me of a younger Angelina Jolie. I wasn't crazy about the road trip story, wishing more had been shown of the initial town and daily life. I didn't care for the music by Eugene. It didn't "suck" per say but better songs and soundtrack would have helped the mood. I didn't find the movie laugh-out-funny but it was amusing by moments. The romantic aspect was not so bad, I rooted for them, but it felt somewhat lacking and got torpedoed by the contrived ending. I enjoyed the movie much less than I should have considering the subject matter and themes I usually love.Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
