Favorite film of 2014

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2016)

I had one of the most amazing viewing experiences watching this movie for the first time! Unfortunately it cannot be re-experienced but I cherished my first watch. This movie...what a thriller!! I LOVED this film and felt quite a frustration at the ending: Fincher's goal with the ending, however, was to have the viewer feel the same frustration the main character felt, a sensation I have never experienced in a movie. Loved it.
EXCELLENT cast. Fincher carefully picked Pike over Witherspoon and I am thankful he did. Pike played her role perfectly and provided her soothing voice and wonderful tone. Affleck was perfect for his role, as his demeanor and real-life Hollywood experiences helped propel his relation to his character. Tyler Perry was great, and Neil Patrick Harris was a joy to watch.
So far, my biggest 10 out of 10 for a film. HIGHLY, highly recommended.
