Intriguing, must watch more than once to appreciate.

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2004)

Donnie Darko is a film to be watched multiple times to appreciate fully. You will be thinking about it long after the movie has ended. Great acting, and a plot that is atypical of Hollywood movies, which is what makes it so interesting. I recommend this movie to those who like "non-mainstream" movies. My son told me about this movie initially. Apparently it has a "cult following" on the college campus he attends. I was not going to watch the movie, but decided to one evening while I was home alone. It was so weird. I waited a long time before watching the movie again, and then I wanted to watch it more to try to figure out certain aspects of the plot. I asked everyone I knew if they had seen the movie so that we might discuss it. Not one person had seen it, but everyone I talked to about this movie that subsequently watched it has liked it for various reasons. It is on my list of "must-own" movies.
