"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2003)

I don't know what Donnie Darko can be classified as, but I say horror qualifies. It has the power to make you feel uncomfortable in your own surroundings. The unsettling loop of events you bear witness to are both haunting and intriguing. I lost a night of sleep after watching it; trying to piece it together and figure it out. It's definitely a fun movie in that it doesn't force-feed you the answers and I love Richard Kelly for that. I think (pause) I loved it. Yes, it's definitely a top five favorite. Even if you watch this twenty times you will still miss some of the themes. Donnie Darko is a profound and affecting film unlike any other. You should go out of your way to see it.
