Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review W. W. W Farrow is disappointing, Redford is outstanding. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Mauricio R Recuerdo haber visto la versión del 2013 de la mano de Baz Luhrmann con un reparto espectacular protagonizando DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire y carey Mulligan entre otros y quedé fascinado con la historia trágica de obsesión, esperanza y un duro comentario a el clasismo. Un poquito más de una década después me animé a ver la versión de 1974 dirigida por Jack Clayton con un guión adaptado del maestro Francis Ford Coppola y con actuaciones de los histriones Robert Redford y Mia Farrow; como espectador podría pensar que es la formula del éxito y es que el guión fue fielmente adaptado de la novela de F. Scott Fitzgerald pero donde cae estrepitosamente es en el factor entretenimiento. La cinta es elegante y sutil en la puesta en escena y diseño de producción, por desgracia las actuaciones se pueden llegar a sentir insípidas sobretodo en donde la tragedia y dramatismo requieren de una interpretación poderosa para transmitir todo eso. Al final decido quedarme con la versión de 2013 no porque sea mejor sino porque el protagonista y sus co-protagónicos logran inyectarle ese dinamismo de la que ésta carece. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Blu B It's decent but definitely an acquired taste and not for everyone. This can be very dry and a slow burn at times despite so much lavishness and production value which is sort of bizarre. I have never read the novel myself so I can't speak for how faifthful this is but I can speak to how this works and doesn't work as a film. Nothing is really broken with it. The acting and pacing are all ok and everything else is half decent. The problems really begin with Nick isn't really as interesting a character as everyone else and feels very wooden throughout. Second, this focuses especially in the first half so much on the lavish lifestyle and production value it doesn't forget as much as it puts the storytelling on hold. Finally, it feels like while it has lots of commentary on wealth, high society, and how it affects us as people it loses focus on the love triangle and that commnetary gets jumbled a bit. Add to the fact this has a dry feel and is slow throughout most of the time because of those factors and you see why this really isn't for everyone. This needed to tell the story through Jay and show him grow and develop with Nick, cut back on the excessive party lifestyle scenes, and add a bit more charm to the performances to give it a less dry tone. But anyone who is a fan of the source material, director, or any actors in this should give it a try. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Stephen C Beautiful to look at. Uneven cast. Slow. Faithful to the book on a surface level only.
