What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Jason Bailey Flavorwire 06/18/2016
'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.' Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

Mark C @mrpiggy1992 3d Ben Affleck did a great job with this Oscar worthy movie especially the cast of Neil Patrick Harris, and Tyler Perry See more Paul Y @forky Jan 6 Such a fantastic film, great story, atmosphere and cast. See more Fernando J @fmjay_ar Jan 2 The movie has a poor message. Stupid movie with bad lesson. I hope men don't learn anything from this. If you are with somebody that is manipulative and evil, get away asap even if it may ruin your reputation for a while. Never stay in a relationship out of fear of whatever it may be. This may cost your life. See more moon s Jan 1 it's worth a watch just to know what happens I guess. pretty underwhealming ending. It's not garbage, it's just not that great. plot was okay but the ending makes the entire thing feel like a waste of time, just from watching what unfolds you can tell pretty quickly this story was written by a woamn See more Sahana P @Ppotato Jan 1 Chilling performances from the cast ! The plot twists were great, definitely worth a watch. See more Phil D @phildub Dec 30 Crazy good film. Casting, acting both fantastic. The story, writing, direction, producing… I just wish the ending was a bit different. Wow. What a ride?! See more Read all reviews
