A great movie doomed to be torn apart in the critical zeitgeist and put into favmovie rotation by the same shitheads who loved Jagten for all the wrong reasons. But after Fight Club and Social Network I am sure Fincher is well accustomed to this (and maybe he gets a kick out of it?).

The white trash girl is an amazing character. She sees right through the wannabe criminal mastermind and manages to get a man to do the work for her without elaborate planning or deep psycho grudges. No surprise that Amy hates her guts, the girl is confident in herself and does not need to be defined by the presence/abscence of men in her life. I think she, Margot and the lady detective are all great female characters to balance Amy out.

Fincher's directing is perfect for the theme of narratives controlling the real life, first act is some marvelous and hypnotizing filmmaking, especially in the context of the events that follow.
