This article from Collider highlights the enduring streaming popularity of the 2014 psychological thriller Gone Girl, directed by David Fincher and starring Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck. The piece frames Pike's turn as Amy Dunne as among the finest performances of her career, noting that the film has re-entered a Netflix Top 10, underscoring how a decade-old title continues to attract large audiences on streaming. It situates the film within Pike's broader, increasingly experimental body of work, including roles in The Wheel of Time, Saltburn, I Care a Lot and the Netflix comedy Ladies First.

The 149-minute film follows Nick (Affleck), whose wife Amy (Pike) vanishes on their fifth wedding anniversary, making him the prime suspect amid a media frenzy as his deceptions come to light. Adapted by Gillian Flynn from her own novel, the story is praised for its unreliable narration, dark satire and themes of a toxic marriage and the façades partners maintain. The article cites the film's 88% Rotten Tomatoes score and its box-office success, earning $370 million against a $61 million budget, alongside supporting performances from Tyler Perry as defence attorney Tanner and Carrie Coon as Nick's sister.
