...the kind of picture one is more inclined to admire than embrace
01/29/05
Lone Scherfig has masterfully combined rather dark, serious topics with a little humor and a lot of humanity.

Scherfig presents the message with a creative flair that will appeal to indie film lovers who appreciate well drawn characters
08/29/04
Feels schematic, contrived and less genuine.
08/06/04
Wilbur is less about adherence to cinematic restrictions than it is about characters, and Scherfig was able to coax subtle, comic performances from her actors.
06/04/04
Although at times too low-key, Wilbur is a humorous and strangely uplifting film about death and dying.
06/03/04
More plainly dreary than morosely captivating... a movie that seems rather irresolute about exactly what sort of feelings its hypothetically meant to be conjuring up.
05/31/04
It's certain parts of the film that I enjoy rather than the film as a whole.
05/27/04
You may laugh, but you won't always like yourself for it.
05/21/04
Pretty enjoyable.

Amid the bloody pulp that is cinema this season, the director of Italian for Beginners offers a fresh look at the old death wish.
05/17/04
You can almost believe that Sives and Rawlins are brothers, while the oft-used Henderson ... is solid, as usual.
05/14/04
These fragile, self-destructive people, practically in spite of themselves, manage to charm their way into our hearts.
05/14/04
Wilbur is strangely romantic, but in no way sentimental.
