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.

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.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Rotten
Shows plenty of promise, but it's somewhat self-involved and won't appeal to audiences who like a straightforward -- even if fantastical -- narrative.
Loren King, Boston Globe

Excitingly original indie vision.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

A stunning technical accomplishment that virtually bursts with noise, ideas and references.
