Okay so this comment on Gone Girl is pasted from my reply to someone else and edited slightly :)
Omg I saw Gone Girl at the cinema and wished I hadn't. Whilst it was a stand out performance by Rosamund Pike - the best I've seen her, I just found it too disturbing in parts. There were a couple of scenes where I just had to look away (you can probably guess the ones I mean) I read an article somewhere interviewing Rosamund about the movie and she said that playing that role did affect her and having had to immerse herself in such darkness is what made her want to have another baby - some that was life affirming and good in contrast.
(fresh comment) and then Under Her Skin, the second most, or should I say just as disturbing movie I've seen this year. Now I haven't read the book and I wouldn't have thought the movie was based on one because of the lack of dialogue. I thought it a very brave performance by Scarlett but even more so by the guys. It's rare to get a male full frontal in a mainstream movie but there was rather a lot more going on this time which obviously aside from porn you never see. Seeing as you've read the book I just have to know - what the heck was that black water they kept stupidly walking in to? Took me ages to get the image of that one guy...urgh! can't think about it..."disappearing" shall we say. Feel sick. Oh and then there was the baby on the beach. That was really diffilcult to watch. It's a film I'll never, unfortuately, forget though.
