Dark, intelligent, graphic

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2014)

David Fincher is a genius. Period. From the time as director of music videos for singer Madonnna, the brilliant director already showed talent for storytelling. From his promising start in "Seven" to the exceptional "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" Fincher became my favorite director. Then you can imagine my expectations with this film.
And Gone Girl does not disappoint. Intelligent, brave, sometimes even graphic the movie holds and surprises.
But this film is not a David Fincher film. Not a Ben Afflek film. The movie is Rosamund Pike. His Amy Dunne is portrayed brilliantly by an actress without much recognition in the film world. Not the best movie of the year, but by far the best performance by an actress.
