in wilbur want to kill himself and a young man who basically live from one unsuccessful suicide attempt to another be look after and care for by his brother who be suffer from terminal pancreatic cancer . moreover and it turn out that the mentally ill brother have design on the physically ill brother wife . it may be hard to believe from that synopsis and but wilbur want to kill himself be actually a comedy . indeed and wilbur and fill a it be with quirky character and offbeat humor and be reminiscent of other well know scottish comedy such a local hero and gregory girl and albeit this new film be darker and grimmer in it subject matter and theme . for in addition to death and illness and wilbur also deal with the less tragic topic of adultery and unrequited love . like the best scottish comedy and this film provide u with a slice of life tale fill with ordinary and likable people who may have their weakness and eccentricity but who also strike chord of familiarity deep within the viewer . there be beautiful performance by jamie sif a wilbur while adrian rawlins a his brother and harbour while shirley henderson a harbour wife and alice ( who be also in love with wilbur ) while lisa mckinlay a mary and alice young daughter and and an assortment of other fine actor and actress who populate the scene . although the script threaten to veer off into melodrama and soap opera from time to time and the truthfulness of the writing and the honesty of the act keep the film real and believable for most of the duration . the quiet conversation amongst the various character and in which feeling be often hint at and imply rather than explicitly state and help to elevate the film above it sometimes contrive and maudlin plot . the movie end with an ironic twist that show that one person death can often lead to a renewal of life for someone else . it a fitting finale to a film in which one of the theme be the inextricable nature of human relationship and for what happen to one person happen to them all . it a film that not everyone will surely like and but it be a treat for those in search of something a little bit offbeat and a little bit different .
