 dvdfuture.com :: Review - Donnie Darko
My initial response to watching "Donnie Darko" was scratching my head and saying, "And then.....?" But, when I saw it the second time, I appreciated what Director Richard Kelly was doing.
In certain movies that's true, but when you have a movie as complex as "Donnie Darko" I believe that Kelly wants certain things TO be understood, and that not all of these are up to our individual interpretations.
Now, in some movies that would be acceptable form, but in a movie like "Darko" it seems that the vision the writer has should be the vision the audience has as well.

 Zap2it.com - Movie review - Donnie Darko
The first feature from director and screenwriter Richard Kelly is part adolescent drama, part science fiction fantasy and focuses on a 16-year-old boy named Donnie Darko, played by Jake Gyllenhall.
One night an engine falls from a passing plane and crashes through the roof of Darko's house, demolishing Donnie's bedroom.
And though the film at times blurs the line between reality and fantasy to the point where it occasionally becomes difficult to read, it's definitely worth experiencing.
