With his wife’s disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it’s suspected that he may not be innocent.

“A deliciously manipulative mystery that toys with the viewer like a femme fatale with her prey.” – Dana Stevens, Slate
“Described by The Ringer as “Hollywood’s ultimate control freak,” director, and notable Virgo, David Fincher grapples with the fantasy and delusion of perfection, as it is sold to us under a capitalist, white supremacist, patriarchal society. Adapted from Gillian Flynn’s novel of the same name, Gone Girl polarized audiences in many respects, but whatever you may feel about the (pro/an)tagonist, no one can deny the sheer awe of a Virgo with a plan.’ – Nic Kaneski
