Top tier Fincher. This movie has one of the most outstanding cases of using the actor's pre-existing public perception to enhance casting choices. Ben Affleck, Emily Ratajkowski, Tyler Perry are the most consciously motivated casting choices since the casting of Monica Bellucci in The Passion of Christ, and I love Fincher for that. Shame there is no Oscar for best ensemble.

Casual misogyny and mediocrity go hand in hand: very insightful from Heidecker.

You see animals self-disemboweling or a deer calmly eating as its dead fetus is hanging out of its womb. This bleak view on nature is a deliberate choice from the director in the face of…Translated from by
