Donnie Darko Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Excitingly original indie vision.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
An engaging, time-tripping Holden Caulfield.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It flutters, like a mischievous butterfly, above the despairing hands of easy description.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This set-up and development is fascinating, the payoff less so.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
If this movie ever figured out what it wanted to be when it grows up, it would be a terrific one.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Donnie Darko may be too ambitious for a debut feature, but ambition and imagination still trump mediocrity any day of the week.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Just another self-absorbed teen chronicle, with the added twist of a little time travel and a surprise ending.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
Kelly is unable to give the movie the kind of pacing that would make us laugh and shock us simultaneously, because he's too infatuated with an aura of hand-me-down gloom.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
An unnerving, electrifying debut film from 26-year-old writer/director Kelly, one that elucidates the universal traumas of growing up, but does so with a startling uncommonness.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Defines itself through sustained mood, otherworldly intrigue and deep, abiding humanism.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
An apocalyptic sweat chamber nervously situated between complacency and heartbreaking could-have-been hopefulness.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Kelly is a supple and courageous storyteller, boldly free-associating as he mixes parody and satire with earnest psychodrama and coming up with plot points no one could anticipate.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Donnie Darko has plenty of problems. But most stem from a young filmmaker overswinging on his first time up to the plate and hitting a deep fly out rather than a home run.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A stunning technical accomplishment that virtually bursts with noise, ideas and references.
Seattle Times
Melanie McFarland
First-time director-writer Richard Kelly draws on a number of intriguing elements ... without including a single, crucial gem that pulls everything together.
Mr. Showbiz
Michael Atkinson
A captivating dark vision.
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
Maybe Richard Kelly's fate is to be the cult-film circuit's Michael Cimino. He has yet to match the mood or magnitude of his debut - a collision of time-travel sci-fi, commentary on '80s malaise and teen angst that's simultaneously witty and poignant.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A wondrous, moodily self-involved piece of work that employs X-Files magic realism to galvanize what might have been a routine tale of suburban teen angst.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Despite its flaws, this is a compelling motion picture, and offers the kind of 'fresh' experience extended by the likes of Pi and The Sticky Fingers of Time.
