The Great Gatsby Movie Review | |
| There are no two ways about it: The Great Gatsby is misconceived and misjudged, a crude burlesque on what's probably American literature's most precious jewel. Tom Charity-CNN.com The central problem with Luhrmann's film is that when it's entertaining it's not Gatsby, and when it's Gatsby it's not entertaining. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic The best attempt yet to capture the essence of the novel. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com A failure that should have at least been a magnificent mistake. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald "The Great Gatsby" is a cool movie, in both the positive and negative sense. You may certainly be impressed, but you may not be moved. Tom Long-Detroit News It's a terrific adaptation that succeeds not only as a work of cinema but also, wonderfully, as proof of the novel's greatness. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail It's cinematic gluttony and Baz Luhrmann does it incredibly well, but like the attendees of one of Gatsby's shindigs, you'll have a fun time but not remember much the next day Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Like Gatsby himself, it comes so close to achieving its dream, only to fall agonisingly and frustratingly short. Matt Neal-The Standard It may sound like a strange comparison, but the film that Gatsby reminded me of the most is Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat The Great Gatsby is so close to being a great film, let down by its own refusal to exist in the moment. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy No one should feel profoundly disappointed that Luhrmann has shed the author's incisive social commentary in favour of a melange of garishness because he hasn't, as almost all of the film's idiosyncrasies are perfectly pitched. Gareth Simms-Platform Feels warm, extra-terrestrial, and impossible... Whether one thinks it a folly or not, we'll never see another Great Gatsby like the one Baz Luhrmann has magicked up. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Luhrmann's "Gatsby" is made with enough passion and vision to liberate it from its revered source material - no small feat. Jon Frosch-France24 Baz Luhrmann's Gatsby is a tale of two halves: unremarkable in the first and unexpected in the second. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground Luhrmann understands Fitzgerald's book and brings the writer's classic prose to life on cinematic terms that feel thrilling, visceral and immediate. Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia) Luhrmann's take on perhaps the original American #RichPeopleProblems novel -- about misplaced male ambition and romantic longing, and the perils of female drivers -- is a work of fizzy, surface decadence. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Luhrmann basically invites us to the world's greatest party, but it's one that slowly sours over the course of the following two hours. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk Less is not more, more is more. Luhrmann's Great Gatsby embraces this notion as a reflection of its central character, and in this sense at least it is near-on perfect. Chris Laverty-Clothes on Film Luhrmann's greatest trick in "The Great Gatsby" is using the romantic plot - will Daisy choose Jay or Tom - as camouflage to get across Fitzgerald's withering and timely portrait of a society dancing to the edge of disaster. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune All the CGI-assisted, 3-D sparkle is a wonder to behold, and for a short time it effectively distracts from the inert drama underneath. Corey Hall-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Luhrmann understandably wants his Gatsby to be great, but he has inadvertently reminded us that the Great American Novel belongs precisely where it was born: on the page. Ed Gibbs-The Age (Australia) Luhrmann makes the most out of what might be considered the text's music video counterpart. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Baz Luhrmann gives the movie just the right amount of Baz-amatazz! Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com Nick's voice in the novel is a dry, cutting counterpoint; the movie subordinates his irony to his angst and his boyish admiration for Gatsby. Margot Harrison-Seven Days Luhrmann and his design/vision soulmate Catherine Martin package all this in oversize gift boxes all superbly ribboned and bowed, but we have to accept that the presents inside are just as valuable and meaningful Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile There's a pulsating hyper reality about the film in which everything is zinging ... emotional cred is wanting but Luhrman's Gatsby overall delivers a feast that is more than enough to satisfy and enthrall Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile | |
