Review of Gone Girl (2014) by Jstein1992 — 07 Oct 2014
This movie was downright incredible. This may just be my new favorite David Fincher movie. The movie is a fantastic adaptation of Flynn's novel. It makes it even better that she wrote the script as well.
Her script combined with Fincher's dark and visually stunning directing style makes for an incredible mystery drama. As I said this movie looks beautiful. The cinematography and lighting are both excellently done.
The writing contains a surprising yet fitting amount of humor. The narrative unravels in an intelligent and unique manner. The acting in this film is top notch. Everyone in this movie was truly outstanding.
Rosamund Pike is the standout performance here though. She absolutely becomes the character of Amy Dunne. She is on point with every single thing she does in the movie. Affleck's performance as Nick Dunne has to be touched upon as well.
His character is very mysterious and unclear in his motives. His awkward personality causes people to become suspicious of him throughout the movie. This awkwardness is something that Affleck does excellently.
This movie touches on themes of marriage, social norms, economic hardships, and the behavior of the media; all these themes are brilliantly intertwined throughout the movie's narrative. Gone Girl is strangely hilarious, intriguing, and disturbing.
It is a perfect movie.
