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 seventh feature was unlike any of his prior releases. Instead of making another thriller, the director attempted to harness F. Scott Fitzgerald's seemingly unfilmable short story about a man (Brad Pitt, working with Fincher for the third time) who ages in reverse. Though far from his best work in the eyes of critics, Button is the film that brought Fincher his first Oscar nomination as director and received 13 Academy Award nominations in total, by far the most for any of his films (and the most of any 2008 film).
“Realized through old-fashioned camera mastery and newfangled special effects, it’s a stunning technical accomplishment, but one seemingly designed only to broadcast banal sentiments, when it says anything at all.” —Keith Phipps, A.V. Club
