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
The acting is solid, but the tone is grating.
04/22/04
Top CriticFeels schematic, contrived and less genuine.
08/06/04
It starts as a black comedy about suicide along the lines of Harold and Maude, then softens into a well-meant but sentimental piece about terminal illness.
04/01/04
Top CriticLess morbid than an eccentric mixture of the mawkish and primal.
03/09/04
Top CriticA 'slice of life' from filmmakers who, however earnest their intentions, can't offer anything but cheerless Celtic proletarian whimsy.
05/06/04
The mixture of drizzly Scottish bleakness and Scherfig's meandering Danish moodiness is too chicly depressive -- and, for the most part, too dull -- to bear.
03/10/04
Top CriticI admire some of it. I liked the performances. I thought the script was slow and I thought it had kind of a dingy slow dull over all feel to it.
03/15/04
Top CriticA dreary and uninviting drama ... only for those who have been complaining that their lives have been too sunny lately.
04/04/04
Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself wants to be as shocking as its title, but it doesn't have the nerve.
04/02/04
Deadly good.
