Vividly imaginative and mindblowing!

That's right , Richard Kelly is a genius . It takes to be one to write a screenplay like this when you're only 21 ( or maybe 22 , I'm not sure )in only a few weeks while doing your regular , day - to - day job . And to direct it in such a professional manner when you're just 26 , and if that's your first full length movie after a few short ones at the academy - then it's truly mind - blowing .

Do yourself a favor and 1. find the Director's cut version because it's more complete and richer with meaning and ideas ( and more comprehensible ) , and 2. stay away from this if you're too lazy to use your brain during and after watching .

Essential Viewing, Again & Again & ........

I gurantee that you have never seen anything like Donnie Darko. It is quite simply, Amazing. Finally, a movie that is made for repeated viewings. Every one is going to get something different from this film every time they watch it. There is so much going on, that it is hard to describe. The only other thing I can say about the film is WATCH IT.

A touching tale of a boy and his bunny!!

Donnie Darko is truly a film that is worthy of cult classic status. The visual effects are stunning! Speaking of visuals Richard Kelly delievers a disturbingly beautiful one in the form of Frank. Frank is a welcome addition to the vast array of cult classic icons.
With the complex themes of time travel and impending armageddon this film may be too unconventional for the casual viewer.
However not all is doom and gloom. There are much lighter moments. One being the conversation Donnie and friends have regarding the sexual orientations of The Smurfs.
This film has two wonderful soundtracks. The first being a wonderfully haunting score by Michael Andrews. The second features classic 80's tunes by Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division and INXS.
Also i must mention Gary Jules awesome cover ...
