Gone Girl is about the aftermath of the disappearance of a beautiful young wife, Amy. The film is essentially a mystery about the events surrounding Amy's disappearance, and the consequences that her husband, Nick, has to endure when he becomes a suspect.
This film is absolutely riveting. It unfolds in two parts, one showing the events through the perspective of the husband, and then through the wife's eyes. In many ways this film is about the disintegration of a marriage.
Rosamund Pike is excellent as the icy Amy.
