Donnie Darko

This movie was super good and an absolute mind bender. It’s one of those movies where after the ending and reflection the movie starts to make more sense and everything clicks. The story throughout was super good and compelling the whole time and I had no idea where the story was heading. It was also super unsettling at times specifically the creepy bunny costume, Donnie’s weird smiles, and a jump scare near the end of the film that actually made me nearly fall out of my chair. However, this aspect of the film has to be what makes it so memorable for me. It’s one of those rare movies for me that i actually find unsettling or scary to me because of the mental health side and the reasons i listed above. The whole concept and direction of the film was super creepy and I really enjoyed it. The ending was super memorable and really brought the whole story together. The score and music was also really good in this film and it had not only great songs but it also used music at the right time to make the movie feel more intense or streafull. Jake Gylenhaal also puts on an absolute amazing performance as the lead of this movie and I honestly couldn’t imagine anyone else in that role. Overall this movie was super good and defiantly lived up to the hype. Would defiantly reccomend.
