The theatrical cut is way better than the Director's Cut of Donnie Darko; some of the extra scenes should have been included as extras on the discs, but the director's cut really messes up the pacing and flow, has a worse soundtrack, imo.

It really felt long 😭 do you know any scenes which weren't in the OG? Either way kinda sad I saw the directors cut now lol

The directors cut additions are mostly those interstitials focusing on Roberta Sparrows book, which in turn explain away most of the mystery and a couple of song changes on the soundtrack.
