Critics Consensus

Dark, intelligent, and stylish to a fault, Gone Girl plays to director David Fincher's sick strengths while bringing the best out of stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.

4/5

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.

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.

'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.'

5/5

To satiate your curiosity, the list of appropriate adjectives of what follows in the second and third acts would include twisted, dark, seething, shocking, disturbing, unsettling, rich, creepy, and engrossing. You’ll see.

Gone Girl is a contemporary classic. A great Fincher film with two stellar leads performances (seriously, Affleck is doing great work playing off his own public persona). Flynn's work is like catnip.

I can't put my finger on what doesn't quite come together here, so I'll just say "good show". I wanted it to hit a little harder.

Rosamund Pike plays the most amazing and multifaceted psychopath I've ever seen on screen — and she didn't win an Oscar for it, which is a genuine injustice. I've watched this about 100 times. Everything works: the cast, the visuals, the slow unravelling. One of my all-time favourites. Full review on my website darjasuri.

This movie is basically an action-packed romance. It's a revenge story about how a wife gets back at her husband, while also going completely insane.

What Jennifer M just said. But I didn't understand how she got pregnant if he wasn't able. What did I miss there?

I liked the false narrative twist in the movie and seeing how far the wife is willing to go to keep her story intact. I think the ending could have been better. The film wasn't what I originally thought it would be, it was actually better. I kept putting it off thinking that it would just be a boring kidnapping movie but it's actually more twisted than that.
