...it just kept getting more and more profound....

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2003)

I'd read some favorable reviews online, so I rented this DVD and watched it one night before going to bed. It had a dark atmospheric quality that drew me in as a viewer. When it ended, my first impression was that it was a well-acted movie with a slightly ambiguous plot....was it sci-fi or was Donnie delusional? But something about the movie stuck with me.
A day or two later, I stumbled across the DVD chapters of Roberta Sparrow's book. The text on my TV screen was just on the verge of readability (was this on purpose?), so I went online. I read the first page....hmmm, this sorta explains XXX. Then I read the second page....hey, this explains YYY. By the third page, I had goose bumps and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up. Then I watched the commentary track....then the deleted scenes....it just kept getting more and more profound on these subsequent viewings.
