Richard Kelly, one of the finest directors today.

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2003)

There really isn't much to say about Mr. Richard Kelly's efforts on writing and directing on Donnie Darko that has not yet been said. If only other directors would follow this caliber of film making rather than making pointless Hollywood mish mash like 90% of the film industry. This is why I am glad that major actress Drew Barrymore saw fit to give Kelly's script the attention it deserved. Richard's film was and still is a philosophical masterpiece, unlike atrociously bad films such as Waking Life. I wish I could make small, yet sophisticated film and have someone like Drew believe in my talents. Maybe one day someone will take my ideas under their wing. Until that day, it is a blessing to make student films.
