Gone Girl is an amazing film, directed by an amazing director. I have been watching and enjoying Fincher's sense of pacing and visual style sense Madonna's "Express Yourself", not to mention that Fight Club and Seven are two of my favorite films. Thankfully, with a script penned by the novelist who wrote the book, Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl is up there with one of Fincher's best. The story is compelling. The acting superb, especially by Rosamund Pike. And the visuals are as they should be, intriguing, artistic, and yet always moving the characters forward so that you never get the sense of a director or cinematographer who is full of themselves. Also, and this is a credit to both Fincher and Flynn, the story is one of manipulation and subterfuge. I for one love it when a director can make me think one way at the beginning of a movie, and then have me thinking completely differently by the end. There was talk that this movie was super weird. I didn't find that to be the case in the least. I have personally seen many more films much stranger than Gone Girl.
Gone Girl is as good as it gets. That's why it gets a FOUR COURSE MEAL review.
