engaging but perplexing... fit for repeated viewings

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2003)

this is one of those movies that after it's over, leaves you wondering what exactly happened? not that it's a bad thing. but because there were many parts that were weird and incomprehensible... i didn't like the movie THAT much... but maybe after reading more about it, i will finally understand everything. jake gyllenhaal gave a wonderful performance as the disturbed donnie darko. i didn't even realize he was the same person as the guy who did October Sky! what drastically different roles... i'm a fan now ;-) besides having a deeper meaning about the universe, this movie was quite interesting and fun to watch in general... so i recommend it to all.
