Review of Donnie Darko (2001) by Emily H — 02 Feb 2017
Donnie Darko (2001) C-113m. ?? D: Richard Kelly. Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, James Duval, Beth Grant, Patrick Swayze. Psychedelic film about an aloof teenager who is manipulated to hurt others and commit crimes by a man in a large rabbit suit.
This leads Gyllenhaal (and viewer) into hypnotic odyssey of strangeness and the (supposed) supernatural. Well acted film destroyed by unsatisfying resolution. Director's Cut (which runs 133 minutes) is reportedly superior.
