Cult Classic

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2005)

Every now and again you watch a movie that completely blows you away. You spend the rest of that day just thinking about it, wishing you had never seen it just so you could watch it for the first time again. For me, this is it. As good as it gets.
Following the story of strange yet utterly cool Donnie Darko, the film is refreshing in it's content. Although the theme is not entirely clear at stages, subjects are raised that keep the viewer utterly engrossed, even if a little uncomfortable. The characters and scenes are so fantastically written and directed that every moment of the movie is a joy to watch. With acting to match - Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role is one to watch - captivating filming techniques, quality cinematography and a soundtrack to perfectly capture the time, 'Donnie Darko' has earned itself cult status.
I know this film isn't for everyone but I don't think their should be a film lover who hasn't at least tried it, simply a must.
9 out of 10
