Well Done!

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2003)

This movie, an independent film based on the tragic details of fictional character Donnie Darko's life, mixed with the elements of God's role in life and death, and a book on the Philosophy of Time Travel. The movie, co-produced and starring Drew Barrymore, shows that she has talent that exceeds a "Home Fries" level. Jake Gyllenhaal's character draws you in, and makes you feel how it feels to be in his shoes, have his problems. The sisters and parents are realistic, yet comical (much like many of our own families). The supporting characters lend help in the dark humor and sad drama that surrounds Donnie's life. All these characters are shadowed by one giant bunny-rabbit, who identifies the end of the world. Very well executed film, with many qualities, star cast, great acting, and twist ending. It is a cult classic among my friends and I and everyone I know who has seen it loved it. "Everyone dies alone" -DD
