“Wristcutters: A Love Story” is a very strange yet unique look at what a person would do in the name of love.
Wristcutters” is about guy named Zia (Patrick Fugit) who commits suicide after his girlfriend breaks up with him. Once he does, he doesn’t die but goes to a place where others who have committed suicide live as well. It’s a bizarre tale of love, friendship, and the afterlife told through the eyes of director Goran Dukic and is based on the short story “Kneller’s Happy Campers” by Etgar Keret. A funny, strange but very original film ensues…

I had the pleasure of being able see this film at the Philadelphia Film Festival earlier tonight and I was glad that I got the opportunity to see such an original and creative film which so few will ever see. While this movie may actually be too dark or weird for some audiences, I personally loved it. It’s been a long time since I have seen a romantic comedy that is this unique and this original. The plot for the movie is so bizarre that your eyes and brain are glued to the screen the entire time.

This movie puts a whole new spin on the idea of a romantic comedy and does it flawlessly. All the characters seem to connect as they interact with each other. The movie seems to be a mix of the movie “Interstate 60” and the work of writer Hunter S Thompson. The movie at times is very dark and odd but it only adds to the originality and creative minds behind the film.

When watching this film, just sit back and enjoy the ride. This film takes you to a world that you have never seen before. Who would ever think you would see a movie about a world that exists only to those who have committed suicide? And the funniest thing is it’s the same thing as our world but a few minor differences. This is a movie that relies on imagination, something we as adults seem to forget to use anymore. This movie challenges Hollywood to take risks and go beyond the typical storyline and into something more creative and out of the ordinary.

The acting in this film is very solid. Patrick Fugit who I feel is always underrated as an actor really does a great job in this film. I mean you think after movies like “Almost Famous” and “Saved!” his career would have taken off but oddly enough it hasn’t yet. Regardless of his career, I think he did a great job with the material given to him. Also Shannyn Sossamon who played Mikal did a great job as well. Again I think she is another actress who has potential. She hasn’t had a great breakout performance as of yet but I feel she has the potential to be big and when she does land that breakout role, she will be. Shea Whigham who played Eugene was very amusing. I enjoyed him as the crazy sidekick to Zia. And finally just because I think the guy is a riot and since half the audience started to laugh when they saw him appear on screen I must give credit to Will Arnett (GOB from Arrested Development) who appeared on screen for way to short of a role in my opinion. What made his role stand out was the fact that so many people recognized him as GOB on “Arrested Development” which as he came on screen near the end of the film, half the theater laughed and clapped. There are several others I haven’t mentioned here but they all did a fine job as well.

Director and writer Goran Dukic did a great job on this film especially since it was his first feature film. As the audience talked with Mr. Dukic during the Q&A I found out that a lot of this film was taken directly from the short story but the way he brought the film alive was amazing. I honestly think this is probably one of the most original and creative films I have seen in the theater in the last year or so. And Mr. Dukic does a fine job directing this film and capturing this bizarre world.

In conclusion, if you’re a fan of dark comedies I highly recommend this film. If you like movies that dare to be different I recommend you see this film. Honestly, I don’t know the target audience for this film but it’s definitely a must for those who want to see something original and different from the norm. It’s a fine first film from director and writer Goran Dukic and it puts a new spin on the romantic comedy genre and all the things we will do for love. I would have to say it’s probably the second best film I seen all year maybe not for being powerful or moving but for being really original and creative.

MovieManMenzel’s final rating for “Wristcutters: A Love Story” is a 9/10. A must see for those who love creative and dark stories or like movies that go beyond the norm.

“Qirky” that Quickly Became Dumb
“Wristcutters” had a fantastic cast that drew me in more than the plot. Patrick Fugit had a great role in “Deadbirds”, Shea Wigham nailed the horror hero in “Splinter”, John Hawkes is a great up-and-comer, and Mark Boone Junior, Will Arnett, and Tom Waits are among the fantastic cameos involved. It had everything going for it, and failed miserably.

The new film hype is the “quirky characters falling in love against all odds” arc, a big leap from the hero and heroine. So often you see the type of weird people you wouldn’t befriend if your life depended on it becoming heroes of their own quirky movies and their quirky characters fall in love against all quirky odds. The odds in this case is granted an interesting concept, in that Fugit’s character commits suicide (hence Wristcutters) and finds himself in a Grey-tinted land where no one smiles.

Fugit meets Wigham’s character, who is the most interesting in the film. He is a Russian whose entire family killed themselves almost consecutively, and as a result they are still together in whatever world they are in. Quirky events happen and Wigham and Fugit go on a road trip, where “Wristcutters” starts to go downhill. Shannyn Sossaman’s character, a hitchhiker who is looking for the Gods of her new home, gets picked up and guess what happens with Fugit and Sossaman.

A very interesting concept poorly executed by director Goran Dukic. The cinematography is bland and boring, which one may argue is supposed to match the feel of the film. Still. It’s bland and it’s boring and completely uncaptivating. The dialog is equally bland, and I offer the same argument I previously stated. The direction and feel of the film came off as lifeless, which again, is not something you want, even in a film about lifelessness.

The acting by Fugit is surprisingly mediocre. For the star, he does little to keep our interests. The same with Sossaman, who does nothing with the already bad dialog she’s given. The romance between these two is supposed to be our anchor and the lack of chemistry is obvious. The only thing that kept me hooked was a great performance by Wigham (his name is not included on the list of schlocks this movie commits) and a Tom Waits cameo that never seemed to show up.

What can I say besides “this is a brilliant idea that ultimately failed”. It may strike a certain audience but for a mild-mannered-movie-buff I thought this movie sucked.
