A Fanastic Work of Art

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2009)

I rarely give movies such high marks, but I find nothing to pick apart in Donnie Darko. Everything down to the soundtrack is just so perfect. The story revolves around a teen held back in school for anti-social behavior. It is established early in the film that he is seeing a therapist for issues and is on medication. So this film has you wondering if Donnie is a mentally ill teen seeing things or someone caught up in supernatural events? By the end of this movie you will be in complete awe of the outcome. I just about guarantee you will view it again to see the subtle hints and nuances that make the story so unique. I just purchased my DVD from the store last night and viewed it three times already. It is an incredible masterpiece.
