This beautiful move can be explained very easily.

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2016)

This is not a movie about time travel. It is about a boy with schizophrenia who dies in an accident. He hasn't had much of a life and he is haunted by his illness, but the movie allows us to experience what he experiences in his last seconds of life. Read "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Not so pretentious really, if you know anything about schizophrenia and have read about accounts of people who have died and been revived. The performances are extraordinary, the combination of events and music evoke adolescence for many people who watch it, and the fact that so many of the characters are familiar to us provides a contrasting background against which Donnie's visions can stand out as vivid and disorienting to us as they are to him.
