Critic Reviews
Gone Girl (2014) Review: A Marriage on Trial
★★★★☆
Gone Girl is David Fincher's icy, darkly funny thriller about a missing wife and a husband under suspicion, a sharp satire of marriage and media starring Rosamund Pike.
Yes. It is a gripping, wickedly clever adult thriller with Rosamund Pike at her best, as long as you can accept a later stretch that pushes plausibility hard.
