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.

One Room With A View

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.

Rated: 4/5

Reel Talk Online

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.

Rated: A

Flavorwire

'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.'

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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.

Rated: 5/5

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

Really well-made movie that I can't quite describe. I didn't know anything about it going in and it was full of surprises. It was also really f-ed up and thoroughly entertaining.

Ben looks like he could use some Dunkies in every scene in this film. A brilliant true-crime-inspired psychological thriller that also serves as a contemporary commentary on society’s attitudes towards true-crime cases. Gillian Flynn skillfully adapts her acclaimed novel into a spectacular screenplay, pairing it with talented, detailed-oriented director David Fincher, resulting in a modern Hitchcockian film full of twists and tension. Ben Affleck is the perfect actor to depict Nick Dunne, a flawed husband struggling to address the media’s suspicions and disdain for him after the disappearance of his wife; as the actor himself has struggled with his own perception in the media (for far less serious reasons obviously). Rosamund Pike is phenomenal as Amy Dunne, making it impossible to truly know or understand the gone girl.
