[Highly rated reviewer]

trite cringefest

The film is about a bunch of dead people in some kind of limbo which is really just a road and a desert. One of them trying to find his girlfriend who committed suicide after his death- not much more to it than that. The characters drive around a desert smoking dope to seem hip and rebellious and so on, trying to find her.

The dialogue is so clicheed and trite that I wanted to kick the tv within 20 mins. More driving and smoking dope and thats about it. A complete waste of a good idea- a movie about limbo needs a big budget and some creativity. What sounds like an interesting metaphysical journey is just another detour through the land of Formulaica. Avoid unless you are suffering from insomnia.

Magical Suicide

As a lover of black, witty tales of tragedy and love i had high hopes when reading the synopsis of this film and it did not disappoint. You are taken to Zia's afterlife a throughly depressing world where he has gone since 'offing himself'. The film really makes you laugh with its humor and have hope with our own world with its imagery and tale. I loved it and i have to say i don't really care if others don't; its definitely on my 'top ten' and i intend to watch it again and again. p.s. don't be put off by the title!
