patrick_gentry shared a tip "Solid film old sport! The first third is a little slow, but when the plot starts to come together it’s quite tense in all the right ways."

rose_winters shared a tip "I love how this adaptation of the book illustrates one of the many versions that it can be told. It's a great mixture of romance, mystery, and drama."

hunter_brimi shared a tip "This is a tough novel to turn into an enjoyable movie (and capture the beauty of Fitzgerald’s language). I think Luhrmann captured the spirit of the novel by using contemporary music and by creating a frame for Nick. Of course, not everything from the novel can be suitably explored in a 2-hour movie, but it doesn’t need to be."

trisha_stachowski shared a tip "In general, I loved how much it correlated with the book. Specifically, I was blown away with how grand the party scenes were! How about you?"

layla_comp shared a tip "I looooove this movie. It's so iconic and the theme kills me. It's basically about how money can make rich people ridiculous. Has a modern element to it too which i really liked."

aleafyglade shared a tip "this is a good movie, a little to showy and over the top at times and not 100% true to the text but good, acting was fine, sets were gorgeous. overall felt like a really long movie trailer, could be better I prefer the 1974 version for the sake of being closer to original text and more grounded in the actual aesthetic of the 1920s, this movie is more modern but a little bit too modern to be set in the 1920s. Good movie overall though, soundtrack is impressive."
