Is the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

Hi — the Stream Tracker team here. If you like offbeat, darkly comic road movies that take place in a downtrodden afterlife, Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007) is one to put on your radar. Based on Etgar Keret’s short story and directed by Goran Dukić, the film follows Zia, who, after killing himself over a breakup, finds there’s no neat ending — only a shabby, limbo-like world where nothing gets better. When he learns his ex has also “checked out,” he embarks on a bleak, deadpan road trip through this strange afterlife to find her, mixing gallows humor, melancholy, and surreal encounters. Wristcutters carved a niche on the festival circuit and earned praise for its original tone and performances, even if it didn’t land mainstream awards like Oscars. In this article, the Stream Tracker team will help you see whether that peculiar afterlife is streaming on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, or AppleTV+, and where you can jump into Zia’s journey right now.

Synopsis

Zia, shattered by a breakup, tries to end his life and wakes up in a run-down afterworld that resembles his old life—only grayer and a little worse. Learning that his ex has also died, he embarks on a surreal road trip across this liminal landscape to find her, passing through faded versions of familiar places and encountering odd, lingering fragments of the people and memories he left behind. As he chases her, each stop forces him to confront his regrets, his stubborn hopes, and what it means to keep searching when there are no real endings.
