One of the best cult film!

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2013)

This is one of the most captivating and compelling cult movie I have ever seen. The blending of religion, time travel, destiny and the end of the world is just done almost flawlessly. And constantly kept my interest from beginning to end. Movies like this show that you don't need a huge budget to make a entertaining and intriguing doomsday movie. The story is basically about a teenage boy that has emotional problems named Donnie Darko(Jake Gyllenhaal) that deals with family and high school life and has interactions about different philosophical views on the meaning of life. While also finding out about time travel and destiny and the end of the world. And how he copes with it all and what route he decides to take in the end. What is great about this movie is how it dives into the mindset of Donnie and what is happening to his surroundings without giving too much away. And that is one of the key elements of this movie, it gives enough but it leaves enough for the audiences imagination. By leaving certain mysteries around everything that happened. In another words it doesn't insult the audiences intelligence and yet doesn't purposefully try to be all confusing in order for it to seem like a clever movie. Overall, this is a must watch film.
9.3/10
