The good-hearted Harbour has spent his whole life trying to take care of his motherless and suicidal little brother, Wilbur. The brothers are inseparable. When in their thirties, they lose their father and inherit his second-hand bookshop. One day Alice enters the shop with her little daughter. Alice is a cleaning lady at the nearby hospital and she sells the books that the patients leave behind. The daughter Mary yearns for a home where the books don't always get sold. Harbour falls in love with Alice and soon all four of them are closely intertwined in each other's lives - and perhaps even deaths.
Leave your thoughts about Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself.
| Film Journal InternationalKevin LallyDabbles in darkness, but it's a quirkily appealing Danish / Scottish diversion. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanA kindred exercise in ensemble cheer and cozy humanism -- not as sentimental as it might be but cheerfully affirmative in dispelling the darkness of its premise. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarThe acting is solid, but the tone is grating. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawObservational humour veering on the brilliant. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceYou can almost believe that Sives and Rawlins are brothers, while the oft-used Henderson ... is solid, as usual. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonMore plainly dreary than morosely captivating... a movie that seems rather irresolute about exactly what sort of feelings it's hypothetically meant to be conjuring up. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThese fragile, self-destructive people, practically in spite of themselves, manage to charm their way into our hearts. |
| The Brooklyn RailLisa RosmanWhat's most intriguing about director Lone Scherfig's first post-Dogme 95 feature, the admittedly appealing Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself, is where and how it falls short. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionBob LonginoWilbur has the ability to suck you in, to make you cheer on the strangest of indulgent families. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's a film where the emotions are as complicated as this world. |
