Donnie Darko

Another Jake Gylenhaal performance and another really good one, fantastic facial expressions. I really liked this film because it asked questions about time and reality and all that stuff we're used to but not in a science fiction way, but through Donnie's psychological troubles.

Wonderfully, there was almost no ending at all. My flatmate Tom saw similarities between it and Jacob's Ladder, but I'm not sure of the value of that comparison. Still, I thought it was really cool.
