It’s been a decade since David Fincher’s adaptation of Gone Girl hit our screens and sent waves through society. Amy Dunne was villainous, vengeful, and… also kind of relatable. And while the story was grounded in its era, it’s in many ways even more relevant today. 00:00 Intro

I feel crazy and isolated because I do not like this movie at all.

Amy is stupid. Either kill him or leave him. Take your money and move to Paris. The whole vengeance plot is unnecessary.

Like, girl, what's the goal? You want to stay with him? Make him beg because you chose a loser for a husband? Fuck that.

I genuinely don't understand people who admire her, even ironically.

And the whole "cool girl" dialog is pathetic. Grow up and get some therapy.

The movie is not supposed to be aspirational nor a guide on how to deal with a break up lol

I really enjoy Gone Girl (book and film) but the people who idolize her seem to miss that she is a villain who weaponizes the perceived fragility of white womanhood. Although, perhaps they aren't missing this and simply wish to do the same...
