David Fincher thriller-cum-black comedy Gone Girl , a book by Gillian Flynn, is a film about imaging. Even if you pretend and acting in a very popular talk show that you are empathetic, is still preferable to the truth. And the truth is that the main character Nick does not really believe that his spouse is gone.
This writes NRC reviewer André Waardenburg this week about the new ‘Fincher’: ★★★★ ☆. A film with a clear dichotomy. The first half of Gone Girl let the police investigation, but seeing is mostly about the demise of a marriage, shown in flashbacks Waardenburg said. In this first hour, director David Fincher confirms once again that Nick Dunne possible unfeeling sociopath and wife Amy is the victim of his bitterness and frustration. But is this perception correct? Halfway through the film changes in narrative form – we get Amy’s look at the story to see.
Masterful
The title of the film betrays In any case, that Amy disappears one day from the scene. She is missing. The viewer may start guessing: was she killed by Nick or whether there is a less obvious scenario
“With these questions Fincher in filming? the bestseller [in the Netherlands entitled Sharp Objects , ed.] Gillian Flynn masterfully went to get into a thriller, exciting until the last minute of the first. “- Ab Zagt, AD ★★★★ ☆.
Gone Girl’s book was two million copies sold. High expectations so of filming. Flynn crafted her own book to film script and in Wedding (★★★ ☆☆) adds the scenario some interesting twists. And that is according to the newspaper whatsoever – too much – focus on. The portrait of the layered marriage remains quite flat. “Yet once again read that book.”
The spirit of Hitchcock
Actually, as we are used from earlier work by Fincher ( Fight Club, The Social Network, House of Cards ) is also fairly Gone Girl filled with some form of humor, in addition to the thriller elements. The Telegraph shares ★★★★ ☆ from the director who in his latest film “has been found between sardonic jokes and bitter seriousness excellent balance.”
“Rosamund Pike splash screen as Amy, a woman that makes you tremble. Periodically Affleck is an excellent Nick. (…) Flynn has managed her appropriately designed plot to work to fine craftsmanship scenario. “
De Volkskrant writes that the spirit above Gone Girl wast especially those of Alfred Hitchcock, “the master storyteller” liked to play with the theme of the innocent man in the wrong in the wrong place. Reviewer Berend Jan Bockting values (★★★★ ☆) cooperation between director and best-selling author.
“Hitchcock liked to play with his audience by giving. An information disadvantage or -voorsprong on his characters Fincher also Flynn and play that game with gusto. (..) But Gone Girl is more than a well-reasoned, raft told thriller. The film raises the question whether it is possible to know the other person completely and understand. Thus emerged Gone Girl is psycho thriller to study the psychology of a contemporary relationship – a largely successful combination. At best, the imagery compared to Fincher’s earlier, wilder films a tad old-fashioned, with its flashbacks in warm yellow glow “
Cinema.nl qualifies Gone Girl as a” 21st-century Hitchcock. “: ★★★★ ☆. That’s all over in the “smooth” playing with “narrative perspective and genreclichés”. Cinema.nl writes that the story thus gradually “is nonsense niger, but because the viewer Fincher always one step ahead and let the attention relax for a moment”
