John M This is not a movie to only watch once if you really want an appreciation of its genius. If you really take the time to dive into the all the aspects covered by multiple websites about the deeper meanings of the characters and their motivations and the theory of multiple timelines it will blow your mind of the little and not so little details you missed or didn't understand the first or even second viewing. This is a masterpiece that is timeless (no pun intended) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Samuel W Perhaps it wasn't real, perhaps it was all one crazy delusion from the psyche of a poor insane kid. What it does portray, otherwise, is a fascinating, yet very depressing, telling of time travel, parallel universes, and the effect people have on one another, and what people's true intentions are. With Donnie's questionable actions and delusions ruining the lives around him, for better or for worse, you wonder where the plot is going at times and at times it comes to a standstill where I feel it isn't worth finishing. But with the ending, the realization of more than what it let on, even at the beginning, is worthy of this movie getting a rewatch. With the talent of Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, and many more, it gave a unique perspective on a genre that is constantly being reworked and redone over and over still to this day.

Been back to watch it quite a few times now and it gets better every time I see it. Definitely have to watch at least once in life. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Renzo G Una película interesante, la dirección y actuación son muy buenas, pero cae con el guión. La mayoria de las cosas que pasan no tienen sentido, y carece de explicaciones, más que ciencia ficción parece magia. Se puede disfrutar, pero deja un mal sabor de boca al imaginar lo que pudo haber sido. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
