Review of Gone Girl (2014) by Eilidh2 — 06 Oct 2014

The reviews were so good. This year's movies have been so terrible (with a couple of exceptions). I was so hoping this would be great - though suspected it wouldn't as the source book was truly third-rate.

Fincher improves on the book (not difficult) with a beautiful film. The Emperor has beautiful clothes but the story itself? More plot holes than a spaghetti sieve. And the character of Amy? Obviously neither the writer nor Fincher has ever met a person with mental illness. Amy's unbelievable characteristics seem to be based on the study of crazy people as portrayed on daytime soaps.
