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

Jalvzz .. @jalvzz 5d Good movie really enjoyed See more Jeff P. @jeffperu Nov 24 Gone Girl follows the story of Nick Dunne, a man who becomes the prime suspect when his wife Amy suddenly disappears on their fifth wedding anniversary. As the investigation unfolds, the film reveals the complicated history of their marriage, the secrets they kept from each other, and the shocking layers behind Amy’s disappearance. The plot is filled with sharp turns that constantly shift your perspective on who is telling the truth and what really happened. It is an exciting thriller with so many twists and turns that you truly have no idea how Nick will manage to get out of the situation he is trapped in. In typical Fincher fashion, the film leans heavily into psychological tension, pulling you deeper into the characters’ minds and keeping you guessing from start to finish. As the plot thickens, the movie only becomes more gripping. Every scene adds new pieces to the puzzle, and with each reveal the story grows more intense and your attention becomes locked in. Rosamund Pike delivers a stellar performance, capturing a level of complexity and control that makes her character unforgettable. The film keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time, delivering a thriller that is both smart and endlessly engaging. 91/100 See more Beronica S Nov 17 Lost over 2hr of my life, I have no idea why this movie is so highly regarded. Ending is absolutely ridiculous. See more Steven C Nov 1 Brilliant story. Thumbs up. The only disappointment is how his wife can't answer some questions. It would be amazing if she already think all the smart answers. See more Scott M Oct 15 Mystery about a wife who fakes her own death and then frames her husband for it. Weak acting. It takes really strong acting by the wife to pull this film off and Rosemund Pike came off like she is reading from queue cards. The movie is too long. The first hour could've been cut and you wouldn't miss much. Fincher does a good job directing, but overall it's mediocre. See more Geo3 F Oct 15 After many years, I have rewatch this film and I have to say it still one of the best movies I ever watch, fantastic drama, plot, performances it has everything you want from a great film years from now this movie will be a classic so if you have not watched it and you like films, put it on and enjoy.
