Gone Girl

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Sep. 26, 2014 Entertainment
Rather than let nuance intrude, Gone Girl doubles down on perversity, and its stars follow suit.

Fun seldom figures in this adaptation of the Gillian Flynn best-seller, which is overlong and mysteriously unaffecting. Still, Fincher's film has its fascinations.
