How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visceral descent into a marriage rotted from within, told through shifting perspectives that keep you guessing who to trust. Watching it feels like being slowly poisoned by intimate cruelty and calculated manipulation.

Its dripping in mediocrity.
I didn't really like the characters, i mean yeah they aren't suppose to be likeable but i don't think there specifically good either.
I don't buy them being married, we don't get any actually happy moment.
Maybe that was the point but then they get back together after amy frames patrick neil harris for trying to kill her...and i just think it didn't work.
I think most of the sidecast are just cardboard cutouts and on top of that, i don't like amy as a character nor neil wich again is the point but how am i suppose to be invested?
Its not a movie like dune that does interesting things and builds its world threwout its morally qeustionable characters, it doesn't ask me anything about whats right or wrong.
Also margo is a dumbass ngl, she actively still helps her brother after learning he sleeps with someone else other then his wife.
Tyler perry, desi collens and more only feel like they are present to keep the plot moving.
The only thing i liked is that david fincher still directs this film pretty good and it looks good visually.

Gone Girl captivated me for the first two-thirds. I was fully locked in, buying everything they were selling. Then there's a pretty unexpected action that kicks off the final third that felt a little out of nowhere, upped the stakes, and changed the vibe in a way that lost me a little. Only a little. Overall it's still a great watch.
