Daniella L @Daniella05 Dec 12 "The Great Gatsby," directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan, is a stylish film that captures the excitement and heartbreak of the 1920s. The story follows Nick Carraway, who becomes friends with his mysterious neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is determined to win back Daisy Buchanan, the woman he loved in the past. As Nick gets pulled into their world, he realizes there’s more behind the wealth and parties than it seems. DiCaprio gives a strong and emotional performance, and Maguire’s narration adds depth. The visuals and party scenes are impressive, though sometimes the style feels overwhelming. The modern soundtrack is creative but might not be for everyone. Overall, "The Great Gatsby" is visually stunning and dramatic. It’s great for viewers who enjoy emotional stories or unique filmmaking. It leaves you thinking about how far people will go for love and success.

See more Daemon J Nov 11 Very interesting artistic choice to have it shot and edited like a 1920s film at times. Acting is decent; however all of this immersion is completely broken by the horrible and jarring cuts to EDM and rap music every 5 minutes. The film takes place during the JAZZ AGE after all. The sound director should have picked ONE genre. They, however, decided to mix the genres (At one point they crossfade from modern rap to rhapsody in blue, and it abolsutely does not work). The result is an utter and complete mess of a soundtrack that detracts from an otherwise good film. See more John S Nov 9 It’s set in the 1920s, and I don’t like the amount of hip-hop in it, it’s too much. See more Nicola B Nov 3 What the hell did I just watch? Probably one of the worst films I’ve ever seen in my life. A complete waste of time. Absolute chaos, and nothing made sense. Worst love story ever. No wonder it took me 12 years to get round to watching it. See more John T Oct 20 Beautifully filmed in an other-worldly style which suits the 1930's excess. Slightly odd story, but thoroughly enjoyable See more Read all reviews
