Gone Girl is the movie Flynn fans hoped for and sets Pike up for a worthy Oscar nomination but Fincher disappoints in failing to improve upon the already-brilliant book.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 25, 2019

Gone Girl is a rather funhouse version of this fateful couple's relationship that teeters on depravity, desperation and bitter irony in its every step.

| Original Score: A | Sep 1, 2017

'Gone Girl' may come advertised as a thriller, but that's Fincher being a trickster-he's gone and made the curtest, nastiest, most acidic black comedy about the marital accord since 'The War of the Roses.'

The premise is flat-out creepy. Make sure you're game for that before you see it.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 4, 2015

This is a nutty film, and for the most part I mean that in a good way.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 4, 2015

Couching its commentary in a propulsive pulp tale, it's a genre triumph at once scary, silly, and deceptively sly.

| Jan 4, 2015

Gone Girl promises to be an unnerving portrait of marriage as ruin, but then it opts for madness and implausibility.

| Jan 4, 2015

This "trashy," "misogynist" popcorn movie based on a "supermarket best seller" is one of the gutsiest and most complex cinematic enterprises I've encountered in a while.

| Dec 19, 2014

Thoroughly engrossing, even when it stops being logical.

There's no denying that it's an entertaining movie, made by a consummate filmmaker, though not, perhaps, quite as important as it would like to be.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2014

At 149 minutes, the film never drags nor does its mood settle, slipping from classy narcissistic humour to exploitation-inflected thrills in an instant; mercurial, mystifying - and tantalisingly missing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 5, 2014

This is the most elegant, exquisitely made trash.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 5, 2014

Fincher is as Fincher does. And what Fincher does better than almost anyone is create moody, meticulously crafted thrillers that straddle the divide between genre and art.

| Oct 3, 2014

Gone Girl is a sick movie, but it's a lumbering, anti-imaginative kind of sick.

| Oct 3, 2014

In the film's final stages [Fincher] seems to be relying entirely on craft - but, boy, is it effective craft.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 3, 2014

I had a great time watching it.

| Oct 3, 2014

The film's stabs at social commentary -- the constant barrage of tabloid 온라인카지노추천 coverage -- are crushingly obvious.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 3, 2014

Once you release the movie from the demand that it be significant, there are a number of achievements.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 3, 2014

Gone Girl grabs you by making you first believe one thing, then another, quite the opposite. It's that woman! No, it's that man!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 3, 2014

Maybe Flynn and Fincher are trying to stir up the sort of debate that swam around screenings of Fatal Attraction. This is a dangerous sort of game. Approach with caution (but do approach).

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 3, 2014
