Connections, in both directions
In this way Hoge�s film echoes everything from the films of Larry Clark (Kids, Bully, Ken Park), all of which deal with young people adrift on a turbulent ethical and emotional sea, to Rafal Zielinski�s little-seen 1994 film Fun, which also took inexplicable teenage rage to new places.

Donnie Darko (2001)
Directed by Richard Kelly
influenced The United States of Leland (2003)
Characters
Maybe I’ve seen too many Gyllenhaal movies, but Leland’s slightly hunched posture and quizzical facial expression, indicative of a familiar detached dreaminess, recalls indie prince Jake constantly, right down to the casting of go-to indie girlfriend Jena Malone as Becky (who acted alongside Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko ).
Possibly the most egregious indie of the last five years, this self-important creation casts Ryan Gosling as some kind of social retard (sporting Jake Gyllenhaal's Donnie Darko hairdo and girlfriend) accused of killing a mentally handicapped boy.
The Science of Sleep (2006)
Directed by Michel Gondry
influenced by The United States of Leland (2003)
In a nicely understated performance, Ryan Gosling (The Notebook, The United States of Leland) plays Dan, a Brooklyn school teacher respected by his students because he's engaging, quick-witted and doesn't condescend.
