confusing...if you like puzzles you can't solve see it,if you're practical person don't

I read about Donnie Darko on IMDb , saw high scores he got and rent it from a local DVD store . It was disappointing, for what I expected ,but had a nice dark atmosphere I really liked . I must compare it with Mulholland Drive. These kind of movies somehow get the high scores but don't make much sense.They raise a lot of questions , they seem to have some clues , but if you try to put all of the clues together you'll realize you're left in the dark.To be honest it seems like another of the Hollywood's ways to get more money...just by making something really really strange every few years. Additionally , watching the crew interviews , I got the feeling that even them , that were actually working with writer can't understand what's the movie about . The good things are acting and atmosphere . In my opinion all actors did good job with no exceptions. If the script was just a bit different , more down to earth it would be masterpiece,so it's quite a shame writer and director wanted to make such an ENIGMA....
