Quotes Kneller : Once upon a time there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. User reviews Review. Top review. Where do we end up when we die? This fanciful movie opens with Fugit's character Zia organizing, cleaning, and straightening his room, readying himself for his death. In the blink of an eye, we see Zia's body on the floor of the bathroom, blood everywhere, and we're transported to a world which is hot, dull, endless, and sad.

He's befriended by Eugene, whose whole family is there. There days are filled with drinking, doing odd jobs, and trying to make the time pass. But Zia discovers that his girlfriend has committed suicide and he's on a mission to find her. With Eugene, they roadtrip The film follows these characters as they search for something, someone to fill the void that they had when they were alive.
The film is well shot with great music and tender moments. The only negative about the film is the writing.

Wristcutters belongs to a certain brand of low-budget, high-concept twee that feels distinct to indie films of the late s and early s. But its approach to the dark subject matter of suicide is so airily light that it makes the film feel like more than just a slog of people being miserable.
