I just have to say, this is probably one of the best films I've ever seen. I just saw it today, not sure how old it actually is, but anyone who wants to see a film really should go for this.
It's so strange and whilst it makes little sense at first, the longer you watch, everything unfolds perfectly.
Honestly, watch this right now.

I'd never heard of it until I saw it, so I didn't just keep telling myself it was good because some review did, like many did with Mario Sunshine, I rented it blindly and found it amazing. As for an abstract storyline, what's wrong with one? The Usual Suspects had one and remains to be my favourite films of all time.
Pfft.
The idea of the film was to make your own understanding of it, And god it was done very cleverly.
I liked it, T'was a good flick to watch.

It's a film that doesn't tell the story properly (if at all). It doesn't "deem" itself to have to actually explain what's happening. It's much ado about nothing, much as I suppose Lynch's work is (going on opinions, although I must get round to watching this 'hawt lesbian axxion').

Donnie Darko is overrated. Apparently Igby Goes Down is very Darko-esque, so I want to see that. If I can get over Kieran Culkin being in a 'serious' film..
Not saying Darko isn't a good film, it is, but not the indie revolution it's made out to be.

It's a film that doesn't deem it necessary to lay out all the answers right in front of you, that demands you dig a little deeper to find out what's going on. What's wrong with that?
Don't even get me started on Lynch films. And Mulholland Drive didn't even have the 'hardcore lesbian action' I was promised.

Due to the abysmal way the narrative was presented, you CAN'T understand it fully without reading the book mentioned in the film (only available on the DVD or website). The assessment was bang on.

Poor pretentious film for people who want to think that they're smart.
You want a smart film, watch memento.
