Richard Brody on the new movie “Gone Girl”:

“‘Gone Girl’ is David Fincher’s ‘Eyes Wide Shut.’ As Stanley Kubrick did in his final film, Fincher lifts the lid off the black box of marriage. He reveals the core of unredressed resentment, unfulfilled desire, inescapable duplicity, unrelieved anger, unresolved doubts, unrevealed secrets, and relentless self-abnegation on which the life of a couple depends.”
