Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself

What makes Wilbur worth watching are its smaller bits: Mads Mikkelsen's hilarious performance as a taciturn psychiatrist and Julia Davis's equally funny portrayal of a needy group therapy counselor.

Terminal illness, depression, suicide and one very angry young man: If there's such a thing as a kitchen-sink comedy, writer-director Lone Scherfig's sad but often very funny film is it.

Exceptional black dramatic comedy.

A warm human comedy.

Directed and cowritten by a veteran of Denmark's no-frills "Dogma 95" movement, this is a quiet, no-frills drama with simple human values at its core.

Scherfig aims at bittersweet irony, but Wilbur's suicide attempts yield neither pathos nor humor.

Too chicly depressive -- and, for the most part, too dull -- to bear.
