Empire reviews "Donnie Darko"

Posted October 7, 2002 9:52 AM.

Empire reviews Donnie Darko: "On a shadowy, non-existent street in Weirdsville, USA, first-time writer-director Richard Kelly lives next door to David Lynch and Greg Araki. In order to keep up with the neighbours, he has crafted his own magnificently bizarre hybrid of suburban paranoia and apocalyptic teen angst... Although this feature debut is a little lighter and less artfully obscure than David Lynch’s best work, Donnie Darko is nevertheless a mini-masterpiece that marks the arrival of brave new talents in Gyllenhaal and Kelly. Cult glory surely beckons. Five Stars."
