richard m Sorry, this was bad. An unfunny take on kidnapping with murder as the end goal. Complete with unknown actors who did nothing to remedy that situation. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Punk W Suicide for Beginners is a fun movie which shows how hard it is to write a quality suicide note for your murder victim, that they approve. It also shows how things can snowball the longer you keep your intended murder victim around and the hazards of being a nosy neighbor. Wil Daniels is great as Garrett (why doesn’t he have top billing), the creepy nerdy guy whose anger issues leads him to want to kill the girl who spurned him. He is the glue that holds this movie together with his mildness in the beginning changing drastically as the movie progresses and his frustration grows. What’s wrong with a peanut butter party anyway? I want one! The movie shows how things comically spiral out of control from one simple murder. Hats off to the Director for playing a poppy ska song during the lawnmower scene, that had me rolling on the floor especially when the hippy popped his head over the fence to predictable results. If you like funny serial killer movies this is for you, it’s more gory than Serial Mom, maybe around the same gore as Freaky. So if you like those movies/style, watch this you won’t be disappointed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Jeremy A I loved this movie. The comedy. The violence. The twists. The spirals. 4.5* Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Calin B I had the pleasure of watching ‘suicide for beginners ‘ at a London festival and had an absolute blast. Although some might argue it is not nicely shot or it’s not scary enough , they’d be missing the point. What I liked about this film is the confidence it had in being an absurdist, very darkly comedic indie feature. I found it highly reminiscent of films by Todd Solondz, the Duplass brothers and American mumbelcore cinematic movement in general. Tight script with a consistently entertaining pace and one particular scene that is absolutely hilarious in its savagery. An indie darling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review eddie c I missed out on a chance to watch this film with an audience at a recent film festival. And I still regret it. Suicide for Beginners absolutely rocks! The dialogue is sharp and witty and the acting is on point, especially actor Nate Panning. The movie starts out crazy and gradually builds up to over the top insane. If you're into dark comedies, I highly recommend giving this film a watch. R.I.P.
