Pros Thought-provoking, interesting concept, variety of actors and actresses
Cons Some people may not get it
Bottom Line Donnie Darko made a marko on me. A man in a bunny suit, an alternative time-line, a variety of quirky characters, and mostly Jake Gyllenhaal make this movie one-of-a-kind.
 
Pros Dark, mysterious, confusing and intriguing.
Cons Almost none.
Bottom Line Stange, compelling and complex, this movie is not made to be understood, but to be discussed.
