*REVIEW BASED UPON DIRECTOR'S CUT*.

The plot is genius, Gyllenhaal is superb. It's one of those movies that everyone should see at least twice. Watching Donnie Darko is like watching a carefully crafted game of chess that's entertaining as hell.

Best Dialogue:

-Donnie: Well, life isn't that simple. I mean, who cares if Ling Ling returns the wallet and keeps the money? It has nothing to do with either fear or love.

-Kitty Farmer: Fear and love are the deepest of human emotions.

-Donnie: Okay. But you're not listening to me. There are other things that need to be taken into account here, like the whole spectrum of human emotion. You can't just lump everything into these two categories and then just deny everything else.
