Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Scherfig shows a flair for comic melancholy ... as well as eccentric characters like Wilbur, who initially comes across as off-putting and self-obsessed, but later becomes, if not exactly warm, at least sympathetic. Read more
Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times: Unexpected plot twists keep us interested. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: A very good, offbeat movie with a very bad, offbeat title. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I 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. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Wilbur has the ability to suck you in, to make you cheer on the strangest of indulgent families. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself wants to be as shocking as its title, but it doesn't have the nerve. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Call this a brooding comedy or a darkly whimsical drama, Wilbur's willingness to mix gallows humor and real sadness make it something on which labels do not easily fit. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Thanks in part to the performances and director Lone Scherfig's restrained direction, it remains engaging to the last scene. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: 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. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: The acting is solid, but the tone is grating. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: If we never do find out exactly why Wilbur is so intent on offing himself, it almost doesn't matter, given Sives' magnetic, star-making performance and the careful, elating mixture of comedy and pathos. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Wilbur is wonderfully acted and about as original a film as we've seen this year or last. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A smart and -- ultimately, surprisingly -- sweet film. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Ms. Scherfig and Mr. Jenson have fashioned one of the most exquisitely life-affirming and love-affirming cinematic experiences of the year. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: The new film by the Danish director Lone Scherfig, which begins with a suicide attempt and ends in a graveyard, makes you glad to be alive. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Pretty enjoyable. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Here is a movie that appeals to the heart while not insulting the mind or forgetting how delightful its characters are. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Wilbur is packed with oddly affecting moments likely to stick with you. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A charming, life-affirming gem. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Less morbid than an eccentric mixture of the mawkish and primal. Read more
