Tip-toeing Reality

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2001)

Is it "The Sixth Sense" meets "12 Monkeys?" Or maybe "Rushmore" meets "Being John Malkovich?" Somehow, I think if you enjoyed any of those movies, you'll find something familiarly intriguing about "Donnie Darko", but what's great about it is that it's so different. If your favorite movies have pretty little endings tied up in bows, this isn't the movie for you. But there's so much character and critique and cool in this film, it supercedes plot nit-pickers. Do not miss this movie.
