5. ‘Donnie Darko’ is Pretentious
Okay, my movie crush on Jake Gyllenhaal prohibits me from condemning his spacey performance here, but suffice to say, it’s not one of his best (but still super watchable). The rest of the movie is like a roller-coaster that starts at the top and rolls downhill for the whole ride. The end seems tacked on and under-developed. Here’s a tip movie fans: There’s a difference between thought-provoking and inscrutable. If you have to spend several years trying to figure out the ending of a story, then the author of that story didn’t do his or her job correctly.
