Brilliant film, keeps you thinking for days

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2002)

This film is one of those movies that you can't get off your mind weeks after you have seen it. It's clever, original and incredibly well-done. The acting is also marvelous. Jake Gyllenhaal is prefect as Donnie; he carries the whole film. This movie made me a big fan of his. Mary McDonnell, as Donnie's mother, is equally brilliant. All the other supporting characters are effective as well. (Though Patrick Swayze's plastic face is a big distracting...)
It spans multiple genres: sci-fi, mystery, fantasy, comedy, romance, drama...
Really, really worth everyone's time. Visit the website too, after you've watched the film.
