Wall

Cluttered, unsubtle and overly sincere -- somehow both in its goofy jokes and "serious" dramatics -- and ultimately meaningless. Succeeds only as a reflection of how teenagers glorify their own angst.

I guess I saw the director's cut cuz I wasn't really mind blown.

It's cliche, but this movie is so awesome on so many levels. Noah Wyle needs more major rolls

I loved the original theatrical release's ambiguity. We could believe what we wanted: maybe Donnie was schizophrenic; maybe it was a dream or another reality; maybe some incidents were one thing and some were another. In the director's cut, Kelly's forces a more narrow interpretation of events, which is like watching a trick after you know how it's done. It loses the magic. OTR: 4 stars; Director's cut: 3 stars.

The whole atmosphere of this is haunting. Sticks in the mind long after you have watched.

Decent dark, teen flick that everyone likes explaining to their friends who don't 'get-it'. I just thought the witticisms were great. "How does one exactly suck a fuck?"

There's something undeniably original about it - I don't just mean in the story or the ideas, but in the execution, and the tone. There really isn't anything else quite like it, and it's simply phenomenal.

the way it leaves me some feeling is like after I watched Magnolia. Profound and showing me more about the complexity of unconscious mind and human emotion. I love the plot and I just love the way it made me feel.

Meh. A poor man's imitation of Lynch.

Liked it a lot the first time I watched it. With every viewing after, it's gotten worse and worse. The DVD commentary probably has something to do with it. Richard Kelly is in love with himself.

I'm always wary of rewatching a film I haven't seen in a while which I found brilliant way back then. Especially considering Kelly's slide in quality starting with the Director's Cut of this. I'm happy to report, it's still brilliant.
