Truly a brilliant, disturbing, surreal film. One of the weirdest or most disturbing film I ever watched. No spoiler - It's a story about a family, in which it seems like a bit suspicious in the beginning, and as the story flows into 40 mins of the film, the truth about the family unravels and you would not expect it. It falls into the "surreal" or "disturbing" genre for me, and there were also slices of satire or dark comedy that can be felt in the film. Good cinematography, good casts and definitely goes into my "disturbing movies" list. 6/10

I'm a big fan of Jake Gyllenhaal and I've been hearing a lot about this film and finally I decided to watch it. Wow I would say I am very impressed.  Richard Kelly managed to make a film made up of different genres in it - thriller, sci-fi, coming-of-age, as well as a bit of satire. The best part of  Donnie Darko  was definitely in it's last act, and this was accomplished by Richard Kelly succeeding in subverting the audience's expectations while opening up to the audiences to make up for what they are watching.  Definitely, I got several theories of what does the ending means, and I can see that I'm going to spend my time googling on the theories of  Donnie Darko 's ending. 8/10
