Review of Gone Girl (2014) by Arthur_S_Poe — 24 Feb 2015
Perfect in every way, Fincher's 'Gone Girl' is a movie that lives up to the standards of his legendary 'Se7en' and is, in that vicinity, his second best film I've seen so far. Everything about this film is absolutely stunning.
The atmosphere, combined with wonderful aesthetic details, embraces you and sucks you inside the suspense of the movie, not allowing you to leave because you might miss a crucial scene (and you just never know when those might appear).
The cast is brilliant, especially Rosamund Pike, who deserved her Oscar nomination in every aspect, and Tyler Perry, who proved to be an absolute scene stealer almost every time. Fincher once again proved his class and his mastery in the thriller/crime genre and I am certainly looking forward to his next work.
It is truly a dreadful decision of the Academy not to give Fincher and this movie at leas a nomination, but... well, those are the Oscars for you. In any case, a brilliant work of art that manages to elevate both Fincher's skills and the genre onto a completely new level.
