Review of Donnie Darko (2001) by Stephen G — 07 Feb 2017
In 1988 an extraordinary, but troubled 16-year-old boy named Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) is lured away from his house by Frank, a strange figure in a bunny suit that only Donnie can see. As a result, he survives a freak accident that should have killed him. He is told by Frank that the world will end in 28 days and this film follows Donnie as he tries to make sense of this knowledge. Will Donnie try to save the world or just let it end?
This is a quirky, bittersweet, gem of a film that requires you to actually think a bit for it all to make sense.
