Donnie Darko: Part 2

Though they may be stuck in a confusing time loop, two pop culture observers/zany podcasters/ and excellent friends have banded together again to expose the truth of what’s going on in Middlesex, Virginia, circa 2001.

If you are like Ben and Helena, then re-watching this movie is a delight and welcome. If you’re like Ansel, this was a hell of a trip and a revelation of 20 years worth of pop culture finally settling in like pieces of a jigsaw. Whichever camp you’re in, this review is here to go over the finer points of the movie, give you a little conversation to dig your teeth into and some deep, emotional dives into the bargain.
