I saw that in theaters and it was one of the maybe two movies I’ve walked out of. It was so pointlessly depressing and just not enjoyable to us so we bailed.
Donnie is much better. Depressing? Yeah in a way, but also much more engaging and enjoyable.
I’m so happy for you, that you managed to only see part of it and cut and run lol. We saw it on DVD and the folks were so convinced it was a thriller that was gonna pay off in the end (like it was marketed, frankly)…ooof.
It doesn’t get better, and you can probably infer from my comment what the main character’s “revelation to fix things” was. (Apparently there were other endings)
If film is a communication medium, this one is more a cry for help than anything else. (I felt the same about a certain mega-popular decade-long anime that just concluded with similar empty-nihilistic ideas, but that’s another topic lol.)
Who knows, I see Donnie making a lot of lists, so I just might, when I feel I can handle it. :)
Gloomy cinema aside, I hope you’re having a great week. :) hahaha
