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 CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW GREAT THIS FILM WAS!! Amy Dunne has got to be the most craziest, twisted, and calculative female character I’ve seen in a movie and in the novel! There were so many twists, psychological tension, and the several hints plotted throughout the film made my heart racing to the end! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FILM! 10/10

Gone Girl is one of my favourite movies because I like the acting of Ben Affleck and the plot of the movie and David Fincher proved as always that he is a genius.

Brilliantly written, directed, and acted by the leads as well as the supporting players.. This movie deserved far more award nominations than it received. Without a doubt, Gone Girl is a superb movie experience.

this movie makes no sense, it was so predictable, literally i predicted basically everything in the first 30 minutes of the movie at the point where i thought that that couldn’t be the plot twist both because it was so early in the movie and because it was easily predictable, so i’ve waited the whole movie for the real plot twist just to find out that there wasn’t one. besides that the acting was outstanding, it’s just the plot that was meh

Rosamund Pike scared me in this movie, excellent acting, I didn't expect the ending which is very cool I thought it's gonna be classic one. Atmosphere of this movie kept me in anxiety and fear state.great movie overall. They can make second part , but sure in end both of them won in somehow.

WICKED & WILD! This story feels way too real to be made up - Fincher definitely met a couple like this and said, "YESS, that’s my script!!!"
