Weird

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2011)

Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) has schizophrenic episodes. Or are they real episodes? There's a story about an aeroplane crashing into a house, a giant rabbit and time travel but there's no point in describing the story. The writer obviously didn't think about what he was writing and the director didn't bother making the film easy to follow.
This film is watchable but don't expect to understand it. You sort of realize what is going on towards the end but it is all a rather confusing mess. Hence, it is not a good film. Once it finishes, you just think "What was that about?" and it doesn't make sense. Unless you have written the peculiar time-travel theory that the film aspires to. A whole heap of nonsense really and not as effective as it would like to be. Still, it kept me watching but I don't think it needs to be seen again.
