Movie Description Writer-director Richard Kelly's
bold debut film is a social satire, a dark comedy, a science fiction
time-traveling fantasy, and a suburban nightmare about an extremely
intelligent, depressive, self-destructive, narcoleptic, gun-toting,
sex-crazed, teenaged arsonist: Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal). DONNIE
DARKO is not your typical teen comedy. But, like GHOST WORLD and
RUSHMORE, it uses the trappings of the teen comedy as the entry point
for a subversive and trenchant (and also wonderfully entertaining) look
at American life. The difference between those films and DONNIE DARKO is
that Donnie is an unlikely hero who just might save the world.
It's October 1988, in the
Virginia suburb of Middlesex. When Frank, a grotesque giant bunny
(possibly imaginary), leads Donnie out of his house minutes before a
plane smashes through his roof, he not only saves Donnie's life but also
warns Donnie that the world is about to end. Over the next few weeks,
Donnie falls in love with Gretchen (Jena Malone) and tries to figure out
what his life means. Kelly's film perfectly captures the unease that is
quietly scratching under the surface of suburban late 1980s life.
Gyllenhaal leads an exceptional cast, bringing Kelly's twisted but
humane vision to life. An exceptional performance is given by Mary
McDonnell (PASSION FISH) as Donnie's mother.

"...Excitingly original..." Entertainment Weekly - p.84 -
Lisa Schwarzbaum
"...Richard Kelly, the first-time
writer-director, is obviously talented....He sees his characters freshly
and clearly, and never reduces them to formulas. In Jake Gyllenhaal, he
finds an actor able to suggest an intriguing kind of disturbance..." Chicago Sun-Times - p.35 - Roger
Ebert
"...A fine film, even an
astounding one....DONNIE DARKO has a texture and tang all its
own....Haunting and altogether exquisite..." Sight and Sound - Leslie Felperin
"...This is startling filmmaking
-- end of story..." Total Film - p.104 - Jamie Graham
"...This home life/high school
satire set in someone's twilight zone grabs you and doesn't let go. It's
also one of the best cast films of the last decade..." USA Today - p.5E - Mike Clark
"One of the most original debuts
of the past 20 years..." Uncut - Michael Bonner
