If one extracted a considerable amount of melancholia from “Donnie Darko” and supplemented “Safety Not Guaranteed” with it, chances are the outcome will be something like Colin West’s soul-stirring sci-fi drama “Linoleum.” For a narrative this non-linear, Jim Gaffigan starrer “Linoleum” is remarkably reticent with its labyrinthine storytelling. The film’s faithfulness in staying insistently true to life is at its most appreciable glory when our lead’s self-love and self-loathing juxtapose organically. And that is a treat you’re only to relish by the time the communicative climax is knocking on the door. Not very much unlike 2022’s “Aftersun,” where you are hit with a crushing wave of emotions by the time the film ends, “Linoleum” strings you along to the quasi-spiritual culmination of memories and experiences and leaves you with as much hope as it does gloom. But it’s a journey worth taking, so let’s get on with it.
