Be S An amazing interpretation of an amazing book. A rare movie that retains book author's great melancholic rhythm. It is a rare example where you can read the book and later watch the movie without feeling this is not what you imagined. Probably the movie I saw the most times. It made me re-read the book again and also got me into reading the other works by Fitzgerald. Has a similar feel and story to another great movie, Citizen Kane. I believe many critics missed the main quality of the movie being it's very similarity to the book. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Blake S I thought the movie was great! Chaotic, thrilling, and funny, the Great Gatsby is, well, great. I'm 12 and read the book, which I thought was stunning. Then I watched the movie a couple days later with my mom and we both loved it. I also like the soundtrack and cast, and I also loved how much they kept it similar to the book. The movie is awesome, I recommend it highly! :-) Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Naomi O I must confess, having first watched the movie some years ago I found it to be a glittering, stunning, mess. Luhrmann directs movies with all the subtlety of a fever dream (a similar quality found in Elvis 2022). However, since reading the source material, I find the directors take congruent to the actual tone of the novel. A story that unfurls from the chaotic haze of the narrators memory and imagination. True, elements of the book were cruelly sacrificed, but all in service to the story. The essence of the novel was captured and what we are left with is a dazzlingly enjoyable watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Frans B Loved it. Brilliantly directed by Luhrmann. Very well written and brought to screen. Great cinematography and settings. DiCaprio and Maguire really do their characters justice, very convincingly. Whole cast shines in character. Lots of action, drama, deceit, extravagance, romance and noir kind of feel to it. Great movie, very entertaining Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Gareth v A visually rich but ultimately hollow adaptation that dazzles on the surface but lacks depth. Pretty much like all Luhrmann movies. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Chan V I've long read the book before the movie came out and wasn't disappointed. All story and all the emotions were perfectly conveyed by Leo and Toby, great job. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
