wherefore darko?

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2002)

i have no idea what this movie is supposed to be about; i think it has a moral but i'm not sure what it is. the plot doesn't stand up to any kind of logical scrutiny and drew barrymore is awful.
all that said, "donnie darko" has haunted me like no other film ever has. it is so, so emotionally involving, asks huge questions and doesn't begin to answer them, and has an unnerving way of sticking in one's head.

great neglected 80s songs, too. and frequently funny. 10 out of 10.
