Gone Girl bbc 2(I think) yesterday Evening

[berwickswan]

Just watched it on I player. Quite blew my mind

So, if you didn't see it, I'd recommend.

One of my favorite films. Truly twisted and funny and just...everything!

I watched it too as I've just read the book and enjoyed it. Wasn't keen on the ending though, I wanted her caught

Worth a watch? I hated the last third of the book.

Very weird film. I didn't enjoy it at all.

Didn't think to much of the film tbh

Strange unnecessary close up in the shower

Relied too heavily on a reasonably famous cast. Bit of a shitty story line she was nuts

The book is better! Try that

Agree the book is better. Found the film a bit slow.
Though found them both slow to get into, good in the middle, then hurried at the end and the ending is pretty lame.

Oh I have to disagree - I thought the film was rubbish. Rosamund Pike was extremely wooden. Book is fantastic though.

They're both awful, book and film, with no likeable characters.

I loved the film and book!

I love the ending. I can't understand why people hate it. It's just so dark

If I didn’t like the book, should I not bother with the film?

Watched the film last night.

Could someone please explain how she was able to get pregnant at the end?

Quite enjoyed it, although it was all a bit silly!

I hated the book but have recorded the film. I'm in two minds about watching it though.

I struggled with the book because there is not odne character to warm to.

Hated the book and the film. The story could have been a good one if there was anything likeable about either of the main characters.

Book definitely better than the film. worth a read if you get chance.

IMO the book is the most overrated book I have ever read. I missed the end of the film, but what I saw was OK, not great, just OK.

Ahem. Those of you who watched the film and/or read the book, please can someone answer my questions above? Thank you.

extinct she used his sperm that he'd banked when they were looking into ivf a few years earlier. Do you remember that he'd received a a letter about destroying the sperm that had been held for a few years? He found the letter in the bin.

If you didn't like the book I can't see you liking the film, iirc the film is pretty true to the book

Ah. Thanks Zebra. That detail passed me by (I was well into my 2nd bottle of wine).

I also fund a lot of the dialogue really hard to hear. DS watches a lot of TV with subtitles now, I understand why.

The sound was SO BAD! The balance seemed off - the background noise drowned out Affleck's mumblings.

I loved both. The toxicity of relationships explored in such a dark way. The 'cool girl' monologue
