excellent doesn't begin to sum this up

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2002)

A dark, risky and all together successful first feature. It's a twisted storyline that may take a few viewings to get - or it may be like Usual Suspects - the first time you see it you think - wow so much going on - but on second viewing it all falls apart and you think - that made absolutely no sense.
However i think Donnie Darko will stand up to a second viewing, and a third and so on because it is not relient on fast pacing but slow unravelling. This i think is the strenght of the film, and why some people may find it hard, you have to concentrate - but it's worth the effort.
no spoilers here. See it!
