A very trippy ride.

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2015)

This movie does a great job of getting you very focused on the curiosity the plot presents. For example, the ending showing the beginning scene of the movie playing out differently brings up two important questions. For one, did the events of the movie actually play out or were they just the result of Donnie's "mental illness". The second question that comes to mind would be the specific problems that Donnie's mental illness present. As it's never specified throughout the movie what it actually is and what it does to him also is never actually specified, just heavily hinted at through strange and unusual imagery. The characters are well done enough to serve their purpose, which is to further the story and more or less guide Donnie along his path. Donnie's actor portrays the character well, fitting the appearance required to be this awkward yet strong willed teenager. In conclusion, I believe this movie deserves a 9 out of 10 of being so capable of drawing in New viewers while also being entertaining for people who have previously watched since it's so thought provoking. The only flaw I could attribute to the movie is the lack of answers the movie has but that also adds to it in it's own way.
