A film that makes you think, and will not be forgotten.

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2002)

i don't usually write reviews. i don't usually vote for movies. this movie changes the way i view life, in general. donnie darko is a dark film, obviously, look at its title. but its more than dark, it is opaque. a film that cannot be seen through to the core, a film that makes you question what the message attempting to be portrayed is. im not even sure of what that message is. there are always my own personal guesses, but its difficult to grasp the intelligence of this film, and what is truly being said. if you have not seen this film yet, see it soon. buy it, rent it, download it, i don't care, just see it soon. i can't explain exactly how it will make you feel and what it is you will see, it's that far beyond my grasp. but in my opinion, it is better than most any film ive seen to date, and just because it wasn't a box office smash or a blockbuster release, doesn't take away from the fact that few films can compete with this masterpiece.
