Every David Fincher Movie, Ranked
One of the most critically acclaimed film directors of the past three decades, David Fincher has made 11 features to date—each written by a different screenwriter. With his latest film, the Oscar hopeful Mank, soon to launch on Netflix, we are taking the opportunity to rank all of the director's films from worst to best according to their Metascores, which reflect the critical consensus for each film.
Fincher's crowning achievement (to date), this Aaron Sorkin-penned dramedy retracing the origins of Facebook was the best-reviewed movie of 2010—and is one of the biggest critical favorites of the 21st century. The film also brought Fincher his second—and as of November 2020, final—Oscar nomination as director, and was also nominated for best picture (among other categories), but lost in both races to Tom Hooper's The King's Speech.
“The rewards for paying attention are mammoth and exhilarating. This is a high-IQ movie that gives viewers an IQ high.” —Richard Corliss, Time
