Flawed, but a modern-day classic...

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2004)

Donnie Darko is a stunning film. Though flawed, Donnie Darko possesses every
aspect of a classic film. The acting in the film makes it very easy for just about anyone who watches it, to relate in some way or another to a character in the film. The script twists your mind, and brings up important issues in society and the everyday lives of almost everyone. The movie also captures every viewers
imagination, and whether you love this movie, or just hate it, you think about it for days. The direction that Richard Kelly had to do was nothing short of
greatness, and I think people should keep an eye out for future films by Kelly. Kelly creates a very terrifying, graphic, and demonic world in this film, and this creation is very similar to the real world. The characters in this film are so real to the audience, because they are all so flawed and not as predictable as other
film characters. Donnie Darko 9/10
