Excellent retrospective. I do like Gone Girl a great deal. I particularly enjoyed the hilariously satirical role Tyler Perry plays. In fact, funny story: In the latter third of the film, the dark comedy aspect comes to the fore, but when I first saw this in a (fairly full) cinema, I was the only one laughing. I later saw in an interview that revealed Gillian Flynn (adapting her own novel) had deliberately upped the comedy, so I didn’t feel remotely bad about being the only one in that screening who got the joke. Hahahahaha!
