I didn't like it at first...

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2006)

"Donnie Darko" was recommended to me two years ago, and I finally watched it tonight. I would suggest watching it with friends, because watching it alone made me feel terribly lonely.
The movie is the opposite of funny, uplifting, and rational. There's arguably no blood, no guts, and nothing too shocking. The hook, instead, is the plot, which I know I'll never figure out entirely. I also think the acting was superb, and must expose a bias in mentioning that Jena Malone was astounding in this movie.
As a rule I avoid psychological thrillers, and although I've seen "Fight Club" and the likes, my favorite movies are "Spirited Away" and "The Princess Bride".
After tonight, Donnie Darko has taken that spot.
