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

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.

watching this with the david fincher commentary is so funny because he loves this movie so much but hates ben affleck so much more and 90% of it is because he wouldn't wear a fucking yankees cap

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…

“you know me in your marrow”

still one of the most thrilling cinematic experiences in recent memory, the hype surrounding this when it came out truly echoed the movie itself and reverberated through everyone that saw it. i left that theater a different person. it’s hard to find something as sharply attuned to the airy and mysterious quality this gives off in it’s first half, amping up and building to a perfect mid-movie payoff. this is already going down in the books as a cult classic. there’s nothing else quite like gone girl

Review by IssaHB ★★★★½

A cinematic masterpiece.

This film did not only consist of an incredibly well written script, but a set of beautiful cinematography and soundtrack. Rosamund Pike delivered an incredible performance and she arose unexpected feelings in me, making me feel sympathy on one hand, but also doubt and fear for her actions on the other. I loved how unpredictable and smart this movie was, and of such deep context.

Last but certainly not least, I am fascinated by the fact that the first shots in the film were also the last ones and the movie closed with the same phrase that was used in the beginning; “What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other?”…

10편의 미드를 2시간으로 압축시킨듯한 압축률.
Review by Bennett Malcolmson

I'm in love with Amy.
What's wrong with me?
Review by Benjamin ★★★★★

Just as sickening as the first time I saw it.
Review by crumblingworld ★★½

Masterful execution in many ways, gritty emotional core undermined by slickness and childish self indulgence, lots to think about.
Review by Bri 👽 ★★★★★

"You fucking cunt!"
"I'm the cunt you married. The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this cunt might like. I'm not a quitter, I'm that cunt. I killed for you; who else can say that? You think you'd be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby! I'm it."

This is one of my favorite films of all time. It is just so fucking good. Amy Elliot Dune is one of the best written characters of all time. Rosamund Pike should have won the Oscar for this role. It was phenomenally acted. I said it before, I'll say it again.

Also, Gone Girl should have been nominated for Best Picture, Best Screenplay,…
Review by Hungkat ★★★★½ 1

Hair flip, a cracked open skull unspooling brain matter all over the room but the answer is blatantly obvious, because it lies within the power of love. Trapped in the perpetual cycle of marital collapse & rebuild, the sharpness of love will find its way home through bruises, slit-open throat and lacerated wounds. She’s like a cat lapping up close, licking and gulping his bloody remains dry. With the red tip of her tongue, she utters something mesmeric, something hypnotic, “I’m the c*nt you married.” Four years since I last saw it, Gone Girl still fucks pretty damn hard.
Review by Samcrom ★★★★½

Wow, what a ride!

Sleek, stylish, beautiful cinematography. A mystery plot extended and contorted to the modern sense of media, perception, judgement and performance.

We are what we pretend to be.
