Reviews
"The story of a sullen writer (Wes Bentley) who composes poetic epitaphs for people planning suicides and his ditzy girlfriend (Winona Ryder), the film pushes the eccentric without creating believable characters. Ryder's surprising flair for comedy and a few laughs along the way could give ThinkFilm some modest boxoffice returns, but "Word" is more likely to find its place as a cult item on home video." -Hollywood Reporter
