Life is one long insane trip. Some people just have better directions.
In the tradition of Urban Legends and Final Destination, Donnie Darko is an edgy, psychological thriller about a suburban teen coming face-to-face wit his dark destiny. Jake Gyllenhaal leads a star-filled cast (including Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze and Mary McDonnell) as a delusional high-school student visited by a demonic rabbit with eerie visions of the past – and deadly predictions for the future. This “excitingly original” (Entertainment Weekly) nail-biter will keep you on the edge of your seat until the mind-bending climax.

Kelly, the 26-year-old writer-director of this excitingly original indie vision, shares more artistically with Wes Anderson or Paul Thomas Anderson than he does with Spielberg or John Hughes, but the point is, he’s out on his own here. He swings big — with flair.

If you let it be what it is, Donnie Darko will knock you flat.

Kelly is a supple and courageous storyteller, boldly free-associating as he mixes parody and satire with earnest psychodrama and coming up with plot points no one could anticipate.

Most experienced filmmakers wouldn’t even attempt a film that’s so blackly funny, that so rapidly shifts genres and tone, and that layers late ’80s cultural references so thickly, from “E.T.” to Smurfs.

Like gathering storm clouds, Donnie Darko creates an atmosphere of eerie calm and mounting menace — stands as one of the most exceptional movies of 2001.
