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.

Olivia Luder

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.'

Cinegarage

Without prescriptions or clichés, Fincher manages to show the lights and shadows of the two central characters: the perfect marriage of the common man and the femme fatale. [Full review in Spanish]

The Film Experience

Tonally sloppy. Things happen to Ben Affleck; Ben Affleck doesn't make things happen.

MSB Reviews

Yet another evidence of David Fincher's masterful visual filmmaking. With seamless editing, a memorable score, and fantastic camera work, Gone Girl is technically magnificent, but it's Gillian Flynn's debut screenplay that steals the spotlight.

Rated: A

I like this one because it reminds me of my wife. She’s crazy, but loves me so much. But in all seriousness, this movie has such a great storyline great actors, and keep guessing. it is twisted and wicked to the core. It grabs all the emotions 4 1/5 out of 5.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The movie goes to show to what extent people are willing to go to escape their miserable lives. I mean the people giving five stars to this nonsense. Quite nice first two hours but the ending could be the starting point to an episode of Inspector Montalbano. So much to love in Italian crime dramas, so much to forgive. Wasn’t expecting a David Fincher film requiring such forgiveness.

Interesting movie - it holds your attention. That being said, I do strongly dislike that this movie is promoted as "inspired by" the murder of Lacy Peterson and her unborn by her husband Scott. There are many murders and kidnappings to have been "inspired by" without picking the convicted murderer/innocent pregnant wife as the inspiration. If it truly inspired the storyline, why say it? It's disrespectful to the actual victims. It is anctually ann opposite scenario wouldn't you say? But the dialogue is clever, the storyline is interesting, and I'll watch Ben Affleck anytime of the day, good or bad movie. This one was a good one.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
