Definitely one of the best films I've seen

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2004)

Donnie Darko is an incredible film, one of the best that I have seen. I believe the reason for this is that it makes you think, days and even (in my case) months after you've seen it for the first time. The only other movie to really do this for me was "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

Anyhow, I believe that it is silly to say that so many of us who post on here/read the posts read too much into this movie, because Darko is clearly a movie that has so many layers. It's virtually impossible to fully understand it the first, even the second time, that you see it. And while I enjoy several movies that have you leaving the theater feeling like everything is resolved, I like the fact that this one does not do that. So go ahead and call the movie stupid (which I know some people will and do) -- most likely if you can do that, you haven't taken the time to try and fully understand the intricacies of the film.
