Surprisingly Good Plot/Acting

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2012)

I can't believe it took me 11 years to discover this movie. I saw the end of it on TV the other night and finally saw the whole thing on Netflix yesterday evening. As a person who likes eccentric and thought provoking movies I felt thoroughly satisfied at the end of the movie. Donnie Darko is more about the drama, tragedy, and ironies of life than anything else. If you like movies that make you really think about the possibilities of the physical and metaphysical world then this one is for you. If you are into the action packed, violent thrillers that is so typical of movie goers of today then this is probably not your cup of tea. For those who are willing to use their brains though Donnie Darko does not disappoint. The ending is simultaneously sweet, happy and sad. The end of the movie left me feeling all those emotions simultaneously. It was wonderful.
