A film that you feel

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2009)

Prior to seeing this film I had read the short story by F. Scott Fitgerald and felt it to be interesting, entertaining, and moving. What I found with the film itself was something more. When placing a 1-10 rating on this film I found myself debating between a 9 and a 10, but in the end could not find a defining flaw to drop the rating down that one point. This is easily one of the most rewarding films that I have seen in years, and I believe it stands out among others in what it attempts, and succeeds in achieving. Not only does this film entertain but it delivers a real and applicable message. While many films are made for their entertainment, this is a film that the viewer can truly feel.
