Gone Girl, a decade in review: Was Amy Dunne psychotic or an unassuming victim of the cool girl conundrum?

A decade on since Gone Girl's release, Rosamund Pike's Amy Dunne holds much more socio-cultural significance than intended and for concerning reasons..

Decades on, the hysteria and the assumption of a dismissible aura that plague women, unsurprisingly persists..

An In Style magazine piece draws a very interesting parallel between the social media trend where girls showcase the high-maintenance beauty and self-care rituals that "keep them low maintenance", essentially being an extension of this manic mental fetish..

Coming back to the bit about not being a bother, cool girl will nearly never obstruct her man's day, life or routine..

She only smiles in a chagrined, loving manner...she likes what he likes...When I met Nick Dunne, I knew he wanted cool girl..
