My favorite all-time movie.

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2016)

I can not put my finger on exactly what makes this movie perfect to me, but something is there. Maybe it's the acting, the writing, the story, the twist, the intriguing use of time travel, the hidden Easter eggs, the quotable dialogue; or maybe it's because I see part of myself in Donnie's character and sympathize with his trials and tribulations (to an extent, I'm not really in his exact situation). Not many other movies have made me feel on an emotional level for the characters, at least in the sense that this movie does. Even minor characters are seen as important in the movie's plot, and I find that so intriguing. Richard Kelly went on to make two mediocre films before what seems like basically disappearing off the face of the planet, but this one contribution has surely secured itself as my favorite movie of all time.
