Darkly comic, brilliantly written

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2002)

From what friends both in the UK and US told me about this film I was expecting a straight forward story about a schizophrenic high school kid. I'm so glad I was wrong, Donnie Darko is a brilliantly written and directed masterpiece. In the same way that A.I. left me feeling depressed for days afterward, this left me thinking about what really happened. I can see that this film will take a good few watches before I am anywhere near undertanding it. The sci-fi/fantasy elements combine almost perfectly with the suspense. Watch it, now.
