Kevin Maher Times (UK) From the guitar roar on the Dust Brothers' opening title track through to the thundering drums of Pixies' Where Is My Mind? it is pure synapse-splitting sensory overload and the road that commercial cinema refused to take. Rated: 5/5 Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) David Fincher’s adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel is a shrewd and expertly crafted study of the male in crisis. May 24, 2023 Full Review Bob Thomas Associated Press Perhaps it is postmodern filmmaking, whatever that means. In any case, Fight Club remains the ugliest, most inhuman film since Natural Born Killers. Rated: C- Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Ben Gibbons Screen Rant David Fincher created a masterpiece in this mind-bending psychological drama that features a star-studded cast with extraordinary twists. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap David Fincher's prescient rumination on manhood at the close of the 20th century was a revolutionary movie about revolutionary men in a time of complacence. Rated: 4/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Martin Carr CBR Fight Club feels like a declaration of artistic intent with an axe to grind. It comes across as a tour de force from director David Fincher, and aggressively courts controversy whilst remaining a truly riveting piece of work Rated: 8/10 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Paul S This movie was thrilling to the very end. I had so much fun watching it. I highly recommend it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Callum C “Fight Club” is a fascinating exploration of masculinity, consumerism, and mental health, capturing the anxieties of its time while remaining highly relevant today. The film critiques the predictability of modern life and the way consumer culture—now amplified by social media—has turned people into passive participants rather than active creators. In an increasingly feminized society, where is the masculine outlet? The final act is particularly striking, illustrating how unchecked masculine ideals can turn toxic when left without purpose or direction. The film raises important questions: Why do men seek out struggle, conflict, or meaning in a world that no longer values traditional masculinity? And when that search fails, how does it manifest—through self-destruction, rebellion, or even violent crime? Fight Club doesn’t provide easy answers, but it forces us to confront the consequences of a society that offers men little space to express themselves in a way that feels meaningful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Mikas S badass but at the same time an interesting take on mens mental health and toxic masculinity. all over great executed and fantastic cinematic easter egs. would 100% recommend a second watch at the minimum. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Simon D A masterpiece of original techniques and ideas. One of those films that you talk about for hours and years after you watched it, clearly says what everyone has been thinking for ages (violence is a necessity and can be enjoyable through it's practicality and resulting capability), and gets better each time you watch it because you discover hidden meaning or deepen you understanding of others. Personally it shaped me as a person. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review K Y Every boys want a brother like Tyler Durden. Fantastically adapted by David Fincher. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Erick m Simplesmente fantástico, roteiro, fotografia, direção e trilha sonoras te proporcionam umas das melhores experiências audiovisuais da HISTÓRIA. O filme com o melhor plot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
