15th anniversary of David Fincher's coldly captivating adaptation of Stieg Larsson's international bestseller.
Forty years after the mysterious disappearance of teenaged Harriet Vanger, the grand-uncle of the missing girl (Christopher Plummer) recruits investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) to reopen the cold case, and, after teaming with a glowering, gothy hacker, Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), who’s freshly wriggled out from under the thumb of her sexually abusive legal guardian, Blomkvist’s search will uncover psychopathic CEOs, unreformed Nazi sympathizers, and a rot spreading through the highest echelons of Swedish society.
In Fincher’s steady hands, Larsson’s posthumously published bestseller becomes a coolly elegant thriller made with almost surgical precision, entrancing from the viscous nightmare of its title sequence onward.
“This is a bleak but mesmerizing piece of filmmaking; it offers a glancing, chilled view of a world in which brief moments of loyalty flicker between repeated acts of betrayal.” David Denby, The New Yorker
“[Fincher] has made The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo into an electrifying movie by turning the audience into addicts of the forbidden, looking for the sick and twisted things we can’t see.” Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
