Plot: In a funny, moving and distinctly mind-bending journey through suburban America, one extraordinary but disenchanted teenager is about to take Time's Arrow for a ride.October 2nd, 1988: just another ordinary day in Donnie Darko’s teen-aged existence. He’s taken his medication, watched Dukakis and Bush debate, and had dinner with the family. Then comes an outrageous accident. Out of the blue, a 2,000 pound jet engine plummets from the sky and crashes into Donnie’s bedroom, obliterating it. Luckily, Donnie isn’t in bed. Or is it luck? As Donnie begins to explore what it means to still be alive, and in short order to be in love, he uncovers secrets of the universe that give him a tempting power to alter time and destiny. From 26 year-old first-time writer-director Richard Kelly comes the provocative Donnie Darko, a genre-busting fable that blasts the American suburban drama into a wildly imaginative realm of time travel, alternative universes and the manipulation of one’s fate. But at the core of Donnie Darko is the simple story of a boy trying to make a stand in a lonely, chaotic world – and discovering that every little thing he does counts on a cosmic scale. Seen at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Donnie Darko became one of the festival's most talked-about and debated

 Anyone that likes to watch something that is totally out there should get this movie. While it won't scare you, you'll probably laugh your ass off through most of it as I did.  --Hellraisr (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
To finalize my point, Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko is a perfect film in every way shape or form. It's the type of movie that never gets outdated or boring. --Mr. Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
Horror fans will get very little out of it, and sci-fi fans will doubtless be left as confused as the rest of us. Definitely one for pseudo-intellectuals who get their kicks from gassing about the philosophical candyfloss which litters this overly deliberate attempt at making a cult movie.-- (slasherama.com)
