Donnie Darko (2001) - Non Spoiler thread

I don't know why they handled the movie in such a strange matter, and from a UK perspective I only really have the Edinburgh take on it, and I can tell you that it was pretty big news here for a long time. It showed in a lot of cinemas for several months, and is still a late-night movie in some places. I persuaded all my friends to go and see it, I think it got good word of mouth, and I would be interested to know what the UK gross was in the end. I have a feeling it would be very high for such an under-hyped film.
 
I've seen it now, and I liked it a lot. No one has actually talked about it yet though.

Since the plot is complex, and the solution doesn't come till the end, and I have a few spoiler-ridden questions, I'll begin a new thread called "Donnie Darko - Discussion".
 
You can add me to the list of people that have seen it now. Thanks for the tip Dave! If I had been left with the description on the DVD cover I wouldn't have bothered.

It is a good film, with enough side plots and twists to keep it fascinating
