You should see "The Box."
In an interview right here on IFC.com last week, Richard Kelly ("Donnie Darko," "Southland Tales") claimed his new movie "The Box" -- which came out last Friday -- was intended to be more linear and commercial, paving the way for future studio work. The fact that Kelly actually believes this is tribute to the fact that he's living in another world, possibly one of the many alternate universes that always seem to pop up in his movies. The film I saw in a nearly deserted auditorium last night is not, by any stretch of the imagination, "normal." It is completely unhinged and -- despite the fact that it's received mostly mixed-to-negative reviews -- you should consider seeing it, partly because there's not much else out right now, partly because it's a truly unique experience and it's not boring. WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW.
