YesAsia Editorial 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.

"...A remarkably accomplished piece of filmmaking by a 26-year-old Richard Kelly..." - Stephen, Farber (Movieline Critic), Movieline's Hollywood Life, 11/01/2001

"...Excitingly original..." - Lisa, Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 11/09/2001

"...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..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 10/26/2001

"...A fine film, even an astounding one....DONNIE DARKO has a texture and tang all its own....Haunting and altogether exquisite..." - Leslie, Felperin (Film Critic), Sight and Sound, 10/01/2002

"...This is startling filmmaking -- end of story..." - Jamie, Graham (Film Critic), Total Film, 11/01/2002

"...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..." - Mike, Clark (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 03/22/2002

"One of the most original debuts of the past 20 years..." - Michael, Bonner (Uncut Critic), Uncut, 11/01/2004

Brilliant Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I heard it was awesome from a few of my friends, so i thought, what the heck! Wow, its so good! The story is so well written, and its mysterious, fun, and sad to watch. The ending is awesome....a twist that reminds me of M. Night's Sixth Sense. There is some harsh language and some suggestive parts, but the story line is really good!
