Gone Girl

Directed by David Fincher2h 29m2014

With his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.

Our read: Gone Girl (2014) reads as a sombre, kinetic, grounded thriller entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
