Film-making at it's absolute finest.

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2014)

This movie is more than just a thought-provoking thriller. It is a dark, enthralling journey that leaves you wanting to watch it over and over. Not because of how entertaining it was (which it definitely was), but to gain more understanding and insight into the masterpiece that is Donnie Darko.
After first viewing, I understood the premise of the story, and was impressed with the overall tone of the movie, but was still confused about some scenes. So it wasn't until my 3rd viewing of Donnie Darko that I realized what a fantastic piece of art it really is. The score is perfect, the acting is superb, and some of the lines are hauntingly resonant.
You will want everyone you know to watch Donnie Darko, just so you can talk about it with them for hours afterwards. And no doubt, you'll agree that it deserves more than an 8.1 IMDb rating.
