The A.V. Club
The film's pieces don't always fit together, but even in isolation, some of those pieces are well worth watching. - 65
Movieline
Seyfried has spent too much time lately in vehicles that aren't worthy of her, "Red Riding Hood" being the most egregious example. Gone at least takes her seriously – except when, to delicious effect, it doesn't. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
Which stinks worse? The absurdly large pile of red herrings Gone amasses? Or the film's sub-Scooby Doo conclusion? - 40
Variety
A low-pulse thriller that evaporates from memory with the last credit. - 40
Boxoffice Magazine
Gone starts off as a character study about a woman struggling to regain control of her world in the wake of a horribly intrusive event, but that sort of thing doesn't make for a fun night at the movies, so it quickly concedes to a Hitchcockian "wrong woman" riff, in which sexually motivated abduction serves as the worst MacGuffin in movie history. - 38
Rolling Stone
There's no thrill in Gone because you can see every surprise coming. It lies there flapping like a dying fish. Skip it. - 38
Slant Magazine
Nearly a year has passed since the release of Catherine Hardwicke's Red Riding Hood, and Amanda Seyfried is still crying wolf. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
A thriller so fixated on red herrings that viewers may stop caring if anyone's really in danger, Gone is diverting but unlikely to linger long in theaters.
