David Fincher created a masterpiece in this mind-bending psychological drama that features a star-studded cast with extraordinary twists.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 15, 2024

David Fincher's prescient rumination on manhood at the close of the 20th century was a revolutionary movie about revolutionary men in a time of complacence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2024

Fight Club feels like a declaration of artistic intent with an axe to grind. It comes across as a tour de force from director David Fincher, and aggressively courts controversy whilst remaining a truly riveting piece of work

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 22, 2024

From the guitar roar on the Dust Brothers' opening title track through to the thundering drums of Pixies' Where Is My Mind? it is pure synapse-splitting sensory overload and the road that commercial cinema refused to take.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 15, 2024

Fight Club did indeed fly over the heads of audiences expecting straight macho action thrills, as opposed to a mind-messing critique of the same, as well as capitalism, material acquisition, masculinity and other sacred cows of national identity.

Fight Club is very, very, very good.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 26, 2023

With an absolutely brilliant direction and execution, David Fincher uses Jim Uhls’ captivating, layered, unconventional screenplay to tackle themes such as consumerism, society’s behavior, and mental health.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 24, 2023

David Fincher’s adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel is a shrewd and expertly crafted study of the male in crisis.

It seems like the male characters in Fight Club would be a whole lot happiernot to mention healthierif they could express respect and affection through the magic of gay sex.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 20, 2022

The first rule of Fight Club, as we're constantly reminded, might not be to talk about it, but once seen, it is most certainly not forgotten, even 22 years on.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 4, 2021

Let's not get away from the fact that Fight Club is awesome.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jun 26, 2021

David Fincher is an interesting director whose films more often than not work for me, Fight Club is a notable exception.

| Apr 1, 2021

Shocking violence, utter chaos, spirited editing, and mindfuck finales can be found elsewhere. Pitt haranguing a squirrelly Norton everyman on consumerist ideals, however, is forever.

| Feb 17, 2021

It's bold, it's gritty, it's rebellious, it's unapologetic, it takes risks, and it's narrator reflects the frustrations of many people.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Dec 17, 2020

Unsubtle subliminal messages pair with skewed perceptions to demonstrate overstressed stylization and a hopelessly circuitous plot.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 11, 2020

'Fight Club' examines David Fincher's portrait of toxic masculinity from the female gaze.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 22, 2020

Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are both perfect in David Fincher's anarchic, moody and violent film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2020

Perhaps it is postmodern filmmaking, whatever that means. In any case, Fight Club remains the ugliest, most inhuman film since Natural Born Killers.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 7, 2020

The film's tongue is far too firmly in its cheek at all points of its discourse to ever take its characters' actions too much at face value.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2019

The movie demands a certain attention and is not easily dismissed, but there is something deeply unsettling about a work that uncritically espouses brutality as a function of alienation and nonconformity.
