"it is, like the limbo it portrays, a peculiar hybrid of recognisable, second-hand elements that somehow add up to something entirely
sui generis
- an idiosyncratic piece of magical realism whose characters are literally on the road to nowhere."

Anton Bitel
3.5/5
"Though it goes a bit wonky toward the end and seems to travel a very long way to drive home a rather simple point,
Wristcutters: A Love Story
remains a wonderfully evocative experience."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
D+
"It's a shapeless, flavorless Sundance blob that rolls around for 85 of the longer minutes you'll find in a theater this year."

"Boring, morose and uneventful, "Wristcutters: A Love Story" is a stinky little picture that mocks the afflicted while giving them a pat on the back."

2/4
"The story's dialogue may be wry, but what should have been a jumping-off point for a lively discussion about the meaning of life is really just a philosophically shallow wasteland."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B+
"This is one of the more creative, unusually entertaining things I've seen in a while."

"There are problems here, but they're of the good-natured variety -- the flaws of a smart film that aims high."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
2.5/4
"It is neither as clever nor as funny nor as inventive as the daring title might lead one to expect."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
B-
"It's uneven story pulls it back to earth, but many of its ideas are transcendent."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
4/5
"
Wristcutters: A Love Story
is like a suicidal
Wizard of Oz
."

Michael Ferraro
C+
"Fugit ably keeps this superficially controversial, and yet actually rather conventional, film from devolving into obnoxious oddness."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
3/5
"While it's quirky and intriguing, this is the kind of wilfully nutty black comedy that treads the extremely thin line between inventiveness and pretentiousness."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
A
"It focuses on its own unique voice, and trusts that those who want to hear it will follow."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
7/10
"A tribute to ultra-low budget explorations into the unknown and the politically incorrect. This is the stuff that art is made of."
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
4/5
"
The Wizard of Oz
meets
What Dreams May Come
by way of, oh I dunno, something post-apocalyptic, snarky, and fun."
