Gone Girl (2014 David Fincher)

Gillian Flynn adapted her own novel to produce a 2 hour 20 film - too long. Warners would have done it in 1, 40. Also, the ending is flummery, it really is.

Noticed the flashbacks are all underscored with music - maybe because they're sort of made up?

Shot in the familiar green-yellow hues of Jeff Cronenweth.

We watched it because I was trying to remember the name of our neighbour. Rosamund is great, so are Kim Dickens (as the detective) and Carrie Coon (the sister). Still not really sure about Ben Affleck. Good role for Patrick Fugit, Neil Patrick Harris has lost his nose. Tyler Perry good too as smiling attorney.

We disagreed over the cat.
