Stream it now Donnie Darko Reset Status Want to Watch Already Watched Don't Want to Watch

completely let down,kept waiting for an ending that would tie it all together and its so full of holes its unreal.the old ladys involvment was never even explained,how did frank go back in time to warn him when he was alrdy dead,we know he was dead cuz he had bullet hole in eye.and why did events change just because we saw it play out till the end? what a stupid ending. made the whole movie seem worthless when it was well acted and directed and had great potential. what a shame

"Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?" ... Donnie Darko doesn't get along too well with his family, his teachers and his classmates; but he does manage to find a sympathetic friend in Gretchen, who agrees to date him. He has a compassionate psychiatrist, who discovers hypnosis is the means to unlock hidden secrets. His other companion may not be a true ally. Donnie has a friend named Frank - a large bunny which only Donnie can see. When an engine falls off a plane and destroys his bedroom, Donnie is not there. Both the event, and Donnie's escape, seem to have been caused by supernatural events. Donnie's mental illness, if such it is, may never allow him to find out for sure.

I agree!
The whole situation with the 'old lady' is very intriguing. At face value the 'old lady' aspect seems pretty straight forward.
It's only after identifying the many subtle metaphors presented through the writer's/director's/actor's artistic expression that I began to realize there are many links all over the place involving the 'old lady'... and that is just one dynamic of the film!
I believe it qualifies as a 'borderline masterpiece'!

I saw this when it came out, and I think I wasn't really paying attention. Since then I've watched it several times, and each time, I see something I missed the last time I watched it. It's one of those movies you can watch over and over and find something new each time. Absolutely one of my faves of all time. The soundtrack is perfect, brings me back to high school days.

I agree, I can't believe I have never saw this amazing film.

Wow i just notice i never watched this movie

@djglesh, this is a cult film, the movie accounts a natural phenomenon, a wormhole and the formation of a parallel universe. By virtue of some sort of cosmic law, Donnie is set into motion on a path to restore the turbulent Tangent Universe back to the normal Primary Universe. All through the eyes of an alleged schizophrenic. Maybe you just don't understand any of it? Try watching something more lighthearted and have a great evening =)

@djglesh this is one of the best movies of all time. the plot entaila sotry of a schizophrenic that saves the universe through sacrifice

'Donnie Darko' gets better every time I watch it and I like it even more. Cult film, brilliant, well done, totally messes up your melon for the rest of the evening. Weird and beautiful 9/10

An odd, but great movie.
