Gone Girl is a film adaptation of Flynn's 2012 novel of the same name. One of the film's executive producers, Leslie Dixon, read the manuscript of the novel in 2011 and brought it to the attention of Reese Witherspoon (who was originally slated to play Amy) in December of that year. Witherspoon and Dixon then collaborated with Bruna Papandrea to further develop the manuscript—with Flynn's film agent, Shari Smiley, they met with film studios in early 2012.

The characters sound like people trying to sound like people in the movies and not quite pulling it off.
Somehow, Fincher imposes coherence and clarity on a complex and messy storyline.

8/10. An excellent Fincher thriller/drama about another psychopath. The dialogue, the pacing, the script with these twists – everything is great, it holds the tension. Pike played excellently, so much so that some kind of disgust for her character did not leave me throughout the film, Affleck was also not bad. I recommend. Translated to English
Watched
I was very impressed by the film, a dozen at least because I remembered it almost frame by frame (for me this is an indicator that the film is really cool because I have a hole in the memory department) Ben Affleck please don’t be sad, everything will be fine Translated to English
Watched
The film runs, just a second, 2 and a half hours (!!!). And all this time you sit, spellbound, at the screen and wait for how it will all end. A very stylish, not drawn out, dynamic film. Definitely worth a look! Translated to English
Watched
An excellent thriller from Fincher. Rosamund Pike brilliantly embodied her character, Affleck is passable. The film plays with the audience, at first you are sure of one thing, but the result is something completely different. For me, the big minus was the length of the first half. Overall, I recommend watching Translated to English
Watched
An interesting film from a psychological point of view. Here it is great to show how you can manipulate and how difficult it is to break out of the shackles. Sometimes it’s even impossible. Translated to English
Watched
I don’t understand why they are promoting him so much!? There is no deep meaning, just a sick woman! Translated to English
Watched
The story was written by a woman, it’s noticeable (another story about a strong woman.) The denouement is clear after watching the first third of the film, then you just sit and wait for it to end. And the ending just turned out poorly, it’s not clear where the enthusiasm came from. Pike plays well, excellent viper :) Translated to English
Watched
A rabbit once married a boa constrictor… Fincher is a master of turning out the insides of people with personality disorders, and here there are two such characters at once, with pathologies ideally suited to each other. A talented picture. Translated to English
Watched
A fascinating plot that is full of surprises, twists and simply interesting moments. In principle, I don’t like Pike, so her task, to put it bluntly, to piss me off through the screen, was completed 100%. Excellent directing and script work. Translated to English
Watched
Ben Affleck. There is no hackneyed plot, it turns the train of thought several times while watching the film, everything seems to be clear, but the ending is still unexpected. Translated to English
Watched
It’s strange to evaluate films that are objectively beautiful, and you see all their advantages, but they don’t hit you as a viewer. So it is here – you can talk endlessly about the pacing, characters, dialogues, etc. Everything was done perfectly. But for me, this is a film that I watched once and forgot. Translated to English
Watched
Rewatched it after 8 years. It’s well shot, but the female characters are much more interesting than the male ones. Neil Patrick Harris is not suitable for a serious role at all. There are questions about the script. Overall, a slight disappointment. We should re-watch Fincher’s other films to see if they are overpraised. Translated to English
Watched
A high-quality psychological thriller that grabs you from the first minutes. Filmed in an atmospheric way, Rosamund Pike brilliantly played the psychopath. Translated to English
Watched
A thriller that "holds" until the end) and who will you believe in the end? Translated to English
