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.

amy dunne going "hello handsome. crepe?" while flipping a perfect crepe the morning after she admits she killed a guy bc she got caught in a lie is the biggest power move of the 21st century

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…

دراما وغموض ممتاز للأمانة ولكن مع القليل من التحفظ ..

ريزموند بيك ادائها ارتقى بالفيلم كثيرًا
شخصية المحققة كانت ضعيفة للأمانة كان بالإمكان اختيار ممثلة تتقن الدور بشكل افضل
بين افليك قد يكون جيد ولكن لم يقنعني ابدًا،اعتقد الدور كان يحتاج ممثل يجيد التلاعب بتعابير الوجه كـمارتن فريمان مثلا
هذا لايعني ان بين افليك سيء لكن بعض الادوار لاتناسبه ، فمثلا دوره في آرجو كان ممتاز بالإضافة الى جدارته في الإخراج.
شخصية المحامي (تانر) كان حاضرة بقوة تايلر بيري قدم ادائه على اكمل وجه.
كاري كون قدمت دور الأخت بشكل اكثر من رائع للأمانة واعتقد تأتي في التريب الثاني بالنسبة للأداء بعد ريزموند بيك.
ريزموند ، اداء استحقت الترشيح عليه للغولدن غلوب، اعتقد افضل اداء قدمته حتى الآن ، لم تخذل الدور الكبير الذي قُدم لها.
واخيرًا ، فيلم ممتاز ولكن كان ينقصه سد الثغرات بالنسبة للتحقيق ، الحديث قد يحرق احداث الفيلم لذا يُقضل تجنبه.

the cool girl monologue was....... the best thing ever
Review by Robbe Vandekeere ★★★★½

Papa babbelde weer veel te veel tijdens deze film, dus ik heb er niet zoveel van genoten dan ik dacht.

Blijft wel super sterk van Rosamund Pike (ongelooflijk dat ze hiervoor die Oscar niet gewonnen heeft) en natuurlijk ook Ben Affleck. Zijn performance wordt vaak vergeten, maar hierin zie je toch dat hij echt een goeie acteur is. Ik vrees ook dat dit de piek is van de carrière van Rosamund Pike, maar de films die ze gedaan heeft na deze film moeten nog uitkomen. Dus ik hoop dat ze er verder op kan bouwen. Zalig wat ze hierin doet.

Ik hou echt van Fincher, moest je het nog niet weten.

‪brb gonna watch gone girl for the millionth time and live vicariously through amy dunne and her cool girl monologue as a form of self care ‬

GOD THIS MOVIE IS SO AMAZING. The genius script, filmography, score, and aesthetic. All of it. Not even Tyler Perry could ruin this film (no matter how hard that fucker tried.)

I've watched this film about ten times, it never gets old. Amy Dunne is something I aspire to be (minus the murder of course! ) She had a shitty, careless, unfaithful loser as a husband; then blackmailed him into getting his shit together. And I don't think Rosamund Pike will ever be able to top her performance of Amy.

I can say this easily; this film is David Fincher's best. Sometimes I wish I could erase any memory of this movie so I could watch it again. My favorite character in this film was the cat, because it was a great thematic device. It gave a good balance to the craziness when shit hit the fan.
Review by NatalieKae ★★★★

When I watch Gone Girl I don't hate Ben Affleck, and that's about the biggest accomplishment any film can have.
Review by grantxvx ★★★★

Better adaptation than the Dark Places movie but not as good as the book. I enjoyed this one. Dark Places not so much.
Review by otiselambert ★★★★

there are a lot of aspects of this film that feel overtly misogynistic, but it still manages to be such a formally amazing movie that i hate how much i love.
