Review of Gone Girl (2014) by Bradysmith — 19 Oct 2014

This was a very, very good movie. Fincher is a master of style, and he knows how to make almost any material absorbing, and sometimes even electrifying. The cinematography, acting, music, and plot are all first rate.

I felt like I was viewing something destined to become some sort of classic. That being said, I didn't find it flawless. Something about it felt somewhat artificial, there were some pretty dirty scenes, and the ending greatly disappointed me.

It's still probably one of the best thrillers of the past couple of years though, and that definitely counts as high recommendation coming from me. Oscar season has officially begun.
