"Gone Girl" Movie Review, NY Film Festival 2014: A Hitchockian Thriller About Marriage & Its Discontents

"Gone Girl" opens and closes an identical image - Amy's hidden face which turns around to look the camera. The first time the viewer experiences the image, there is attraction which is backed by the rather comic voiceover from Affleck's Nick. But when the image comes at the end, the viewer cannot help but feel disturbed. This is the power of perception in this film. It is the power of David Fincher's genius.
