About

You’ll likely enjoy this bold, glamorous take on The Great Gatsby if you like extravagant period romance with a strong lead performance and plenty of spectacle; Not for you if you dislike modern music in period stories, want subtlety over loud presentation, or prefer a more straightforward adaptation like Australia.

Pros: lavish party atmosphere; standout lead performance; stylish 1920s look | Cons: modern soundtrack clash; voice-over feels heavy; uneven pacing
