Whenever I think about getting back together with my ex, I watch this film. Works like a charm every time.
Review by Katie ★★★★★ 13

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

after rewatching this again for the 5th time, I realized my absolute favorite part is when nick is being interviewed and is asked to look at the camera and talk to amy. earlier in the film, amy told him she couldn't take him seriously because of his chin, so he covered it up with two fingers.

in the interview, as he looks dead into the camera, he puts his hand on his face and says, with two motherfucking fingers on his chin, "I love you".

this is the fucking definition of perfect filmmaking. this is what film is all about. moments like that. this is why gone girl is one of the best films ever made.

Holy Shit. Holy Shit. Holy Shit. Fincher, you magnificent bastard! This was my first Fincher film I've seen at the theater and boy was in one hell of an experience.

"Holy Shit", is the phrase I muttered to myself several times as I drove home from the theater. One might ask, "Why was Evan saying Holy Shit his entire drive home?" Well I will tell you why BECAUSE THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING AMAZING!

This movie is right up my alley. The whole murder mystery, who done it thing is my thing. Every week I watch Dateline NBC, which is murder mystery. And this is the best episode of Dateline NBC that I've ever seen. David Fincher is a sensational director…

Should I be concerned that my wife was taking notes during this film? (Andy's last diary entry)..................................
Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 74

Bootleg Batman's wife goes missing and what comes next is possible proof that maybe marriage really is the motherfucker in this twisty edge of your seat thriller from David Fincher. Pretty hair. Candy kiss. Evil chin. Jonesy the cat's cousin. Sassy sister. The most original name for a bar is The Bar. The missing wife's voiceover is a cross between the Desperate Housewives's narrator and the sexy lady who read the letters on the mid-90's Cinemax TV show Hotline. Dear diary. Almost Famous cop? Jamie McShane has one of those character actor faces. Kim Dickens channels her inner Kyra Sedgwick and makes an awesome tough as nails detective. Ben Affleck's smirk. Remember the Scott Peterson case? Author and screenwriter Gillian…

Review by Peter ★★★

David Fincher is a genius for making you uneasy and scared. Not in a horror movie kind of way, but in a realistic, don't want to walk anywhere in the dark, kind of way. This film is very much in that style, but it was not nearly as good as most of the reviews made it seem. It was good, beautiful, and insanely violent. But it wasn't great. Ben Affleck manages to do a pretty good job, but the only performance that matters here is Rosamund Pike's. She was a surprise to me, and I didn't think she'd ever be this good. That's the biggest reason to watch this movie. I still like "Seven" and "Fight Club" better, but this is a good addition to Fincher's collection.

Review by nicole ★★★★★

i haven't watched this in a while but i was on a date last week and the guy asked me about my favorite movies and the only thing going through my head was gone girl..................thanks fincher
Review by Tyson ★★★★

The ending to this was rather frustrating. There's some really clever storytelling throughout this movie, and then it's like they realized they were out of time. It kinda felt more like a long (very long ) tv pilot. Not in a production quality way. There could have been another hour added to this movie, or maybe even another whole movie and i would have welcomed it. That's saying something for a two and a half hour runtime.
Review by Florencia ★★★★

I have the need to watch it one more time.
