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.'

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.

Gone Girl is a gripping psychological thriller that proves how effective controlled storytelling and strong performances can be. Directed by David Fincher, the film immediately pulls the audience into its mystery and never lets go. The disappearance at the center of the story is layered with tension, media manipulation, and shifting perspectives that constantly keep viewers questioning what they believe. Ben Affleck delivers one of his strongest performances here, balancing charm, suspicion, and emotional detachment in a way that perfectly fits the role. His presence anchors the film and allows the narrative twists to land with impact. Rosamund Pike is equally unforgettable, turning the story into something far darker and more unsettling than expected. The screenplay isn’t flawless, but its structure and pacing are sharp enough to maintain constant engagement. Fincher’s direction elevates every moment, using atmosphere and restraint rather than excess. It remains highly rewatchable.!

Rosamund Pike commands the screen with just a single look and smile. That's how good she is in this film.
