Is that in the director's cut? I tend to recommend the theatrical cut. I don't find it confusing but I can understand how it might be possible to get lost if you miss a key scene or two.

Don’t know. It deserves to be.

I used to have a DVD of the theatrical cut, which I got before I even knew a director’s cut existed.

I like how this movie's fanbase is split on a group of people recommending the theatrical cut and another group recommending the Director's Cut. I haven't found another movie that has something similar.

It's been a long time since I saw the director's cut. Having read the comment above about what the director's cut includes I'm more inclined to continue recommending the theatrical cut. The magic of that story and it's characters doesn't need more exposition, especially about the fantastical elements. It's enough to know that Donnie figure's stuff out and takes decisive action with the knowledge he and by extension the audience has at hand.
