Excellent Film - My favorite this year!

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2002)

Great job Richard Kelly - this is an amazing film. I rented the DVD last week and watched it twice, and then again with the commentary. I've never done that with a film. This will definitely be one of my favorite movies of all time. Jake Gyllenhaal gives a brillant performance and brings Donnie Darko to life.
I wasn't confused by the film, it's circular logic was flawlessly executed. There's 20 deleted scenes on the DVD, mostly cut due to time constraints. I'd like to see a DVD with the scenes added back in, I could easily watch a 3 hour version of this film. I'm also sorry to have missed it on the big screen. I normally don't watch movies more than once, but I'm buying this DVD because I want to watch it again and again.
Great music, superb and different plot, beautiful cinematography - this film is like a gift to the viewer. I look forward to more from Richard Kelly.
